Preliminary work on utility infrastructure to support the Lehi Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is underway on the planned temple site.
Lehi City has approved this work, which includes installing underground water, sewer and electricity to the city’s existing utilities along with grading of the Church’s property. The design work on the temple is ongoing, and a date for an official groundbreaking ceremony has not yet been announced.

“We are excited for this first step in the process of building a house of the Lord in Lehi,” said Elder Brian K. Taylor, President of the Utah Area of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “This sacred edifice will be a blessing for Latter-day Saints in the area. We are grateful to the city of Lehi for their ongoing support and collaboration.”
As previously announced, the multi-story temple will be built on a 22.48-acre site northwest of the intersection of 3950 North and Center Street in Lehi. It will be the city’s first temple.
