Sanpete County requires an “onsite” water source to get a building permit except for the subdivisions designated as “Dry Subdivisions” or that have a community water system.

Mount Baldy is a designated “Dry Subdivision”.

In the dry subdivisions you are not required to have a “water share” or well right to build but you will have to have a 1000 gallon water storage meeting the counties specifications. Water shares are necessary if you want to drill a well. The state requires a 1/4 share for a recreational cabin for inside use. You can find shares through “the nickel” or other sources for $2500 to $5000 for 1/2 a share.
