Conservation and Rebates

Using water efficiently helps to ensure that we sustain a vibrant environment, economy, and quality of life.

Colorado has a semi-arid climate, and that makes water one of our most precious resources. It is essential to many of the things that make Colorado, and our community, a great place to live, work, and play. Conservation is key to ensuring this precious resource is available to every Coloradan.

Indoor Tips

  • Install low flow fixtures and WaterSense labeled appliances. The items use less water and may be eligible for rebates.
  • Regularly inspect sinks and toilets for leaks, especially in seldom used parts of the house. Leaks often go unnoticed in seldom used areas like basements and guest rooms.
  • Run dish washers and washing machines only when you have a full load.
  • Turn off the water while brushing your teeth, shaving or washing your hands.
  • When washing dishes by hand, fill the basin with soapy water, and only let a very small stream of water out of the faucet to rinse the dishes.
  • Check for faucet leaks by setting a bowl or glass under the faucet overnight.
  • Check to see if there is a significant amount of water in the bowl or glass in the morning. A leak of one drop per second may waste 2,700 gallons annually.

Outdoor Tips

  • Let your grass grow longer to encourage better water retention.
  • Regularly inspect your sprinkler system for missing, damaged or misaligned sprinkler heads. Many irrigation systems are set to run during non-waking hours so cycling through the zones during the day is a good way to spot misaligned and damaged heads.
  • Install a rain sensor on your automatic sprinkler system. Rain sensors turn your system off when they detect rain.
  • Reduce sprinkler run times as fall temperatures cool. Cooler temperatures reduce evaporation of the water do apply.
  • Consider xeriscaping with native, water wise plants. For additional savings, install drip irrigation for these plants.
  • Replace old sprinkler heads with water efficient ones.
  • Use a day of rain to replace a watering day.
  • Use rain barrels to supplement the water needs of plants.
