Administrative History
The Central Utah Water Company (est. 1926) is a water company in Lynndyl, Utah.
In 1926 the Sevier River Land and Water Company in Lyndyll, Utah was reorganized as the Central Utah Water Company in an attempt to keep settlers in nearby McCornick from moving following several dry years. Settlers completely abandoned McCornick in 1929, but the company has remained active in Lyndyll since.
