More Information
Thanks to recent wet weather and customers’ conservation efforts, our water supply has stabilized and improved since the 2002 drought. Still, the semi-arid Denver metropolitan area receives an average of 15 inches of precipitation each year, which is about a fourth of the precipitation a tropical city like Miami receives. With such a dry climate, it’s always important to use only the water you need.
Do not water outside between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to prevent water loss due to evaporation, and never water more than three days a week. Denver Water’s watering rules restrict water waste and outline the penalties for wasting water. Learn more about ways to conserve water.
