Denver Watering Restrictions
DENVER WATER ANNOUNCES RESTRICTIONS
Despite recent snows in parts of Colorado, most of the state is in the another year of a severe drought that’s not getting better. The drought has led to low snowpack, above-average temperatures and low reservoir levels across the state.
Denver Water’s goal this summer is to ensure water is available for public health and safety, while balancing the quality of life and economic vitality of our community.
The utility asks customers to be cautious with water use. Mandatory watering restrictions mean Denver Water customers may only water three days a week with exception of those with newly laid sod.
In addition, customers must follow these annual watering rules:
* Do not water lawns between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
* Do not waste water by allowing it to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.
* Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete and asphalt.
* Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.
* Do not water while it is raining or during high winds.
