Water at Little Sahara Recreation Area Turned Off for Winter Season
Fillmore, Utah – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Little Sahara Recreation Area (LSRA) announce that effective October 4, 2012, water for the flush toilets in the campgrounds and the dump station will be turned off for the winter season. The vault restrooms will be open and potable water will be available at the new water station located west of the visitor center.
For more information about LSRA, call 435-433-5960, 435-743-3100 or visit our web page at: http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/fillmore/recreation/special_recreation/little_sahara_recreation.html
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
