Keep our Water Clean

Simple household activities can have a negative impact on Colorado's water quality here are some things you can do:

Help keep pollution out of storm drains
Always put trash where it belongs
Keep leaves and yard waste off the street and gutters
Recycle appropriate items
Fertilize caringly and sparingly
Carefully store and dispose of household cleaners, chemicals, and oils
Clean up after your pet
Wash your car at a commercial car wash instead of the driveway
Choose earth-friendly landscaping
Stay water-efficient
Educate your family, friends, and neighbors about the role everyone plays in protecting our waterways.

Rain, snow melt, and over watering move these pollutants to rivers, lakes, and streams and this polluted runoff can have a major impact on water quality. While activities in and around our individual homes may contribute only small amounts of pollutants, they all add up to larger pollution problems in our watersheds.

Follow these best management practices for landscaping to protect our water.

Saving water is easy; it just requires some extra attention to your usage:

Consider limiting showers to one per person per day.
Turn the water off while brushing your teeth.
Keep a bottle of water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run while the water gets cool.
Install new aerators on your faucets for more efficient flow and replace existing sprinkler heads with more efficient models.
Look at energy-efficient appliances and water systems

For saving on outdoor water usage:

Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering is not allowed between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Water no more than three days per week.
Do not allow water 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 irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.
Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off valve when washing your car.
