West Valley City Awards Company for Xeriscaping and Stunning Curb
Appeal
SALT LAKE CITY — As an international company that operates around the world,USANA
Health Sciences, Inc. also recognizes its duty to contribute
to its local community. As a result of its water-wise landscaping and
xeriscaping, USANA is proud to announce that it has been recognized with
a 2010 West Valley City Clean and Beautiful Award. Not only does
this save USANA money as a company, but its xeriscaping helps reduce the
publics need for costly water main upgrades, saving public agencies and
citizens of West Valley City money too. The West Valley City Council
presented USANA with the award on Tuesday night at City Hall.
In 2006, grass around USANAs 3.25 acres of property was replaced with
rocks, mulch, trees, low-water plants, walking trails and a sand
volleyball court. Since USANAs xeriscape landscaping project was
completed, the company has saved nearly three million gallons of water,
making USANA both clean and beautiful. USANA uses very little
water, said Tim Chezem, Chairman of the WVC Clean & Beautiful
Committee. They show the city you dont have to use millions of gallons
of water to still be beautiful. Its refreshing to see a company being
wise with resources.
USANA is honored to be recognized with West Valley Citys Clean and
Beautiful Award, said Dr. Tim Wood, USANA Executive Vice President of
Research and Development
