Denver Water's Annual Summer Watering Rules will be in effect starting May 1 through October 1

Following the summer watering rules is the right thing to do in our dry climate and helps preserve reservoir levels, reducing the risk of water restrictions in the future.

Spring is here and so is project season! April is National Safe Digging Month and we here at the district recognize the importance of contacting 811 before all outdoor digging projects.

Be sure to contact @Colorado811 at least 3 business days before any digging project, no matter how large or small.

South Platte Renew (SPR) is hosting the annual River Clean-Up event between April 11 and April 23.

Building off the success of last year’s virtual event, this year will be a hybrid of DIY (do-it-yourself) efforts throughout the two weeks, leading up to the clean-up of Centennial Park on Saturday, April 23, from 9 a.m. – noon.

Denver Water collects more than 55,000 water samples and conducts more than 200,000 tests every year to ensure that the water delivered to 1.5 million people is clean and safe.

Those samples and tests are part of a year-round effort monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Those agencies also require water providers to issue an annual report on water quality.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING

COLUMBINE WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT

World Water Day is on March 22 every year. It is an annual United Nations Observance, started in 1993, that celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2 billion people currently living without access to safe water.

This week is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Fix a Leak Week". Household leaks can waste nearly 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide.

The district challenges you to take part in Fix a Leak Week by checking for leaks and making simple and inexpensive upgrades to your home plumbing system. Common types of leaks found in the home are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and other leaking valves.
