How much water does it take to throw a Super Bowl bash?

From jerseys to chicken wings, it takes hundreds of gallons of water to produce your game-day favorites.

At Denver Water, we know how valuable having a reliable water supply is for your Super Bowl celebration.

Like during halftime, or as we affectionately call it “the Super Bowl flush.” That's when more than 1 million people flush the toilet in the Denver metro area, increasing water use by tens of millions of gallons over a 30-minute span.

But your water use is much greater than what we provide for cooking, drinking and flushing during the game. And that's true even if it's just you or just your household celebrating the game.

Let’s take a look at some of the other party staples that will add to your Super Bowl celebration water footprint this year:
