Water is a precious resource, especially to the citizens of Colorado Springs. Over the past years, we've partnered with you to conserve our water supply by using it wisely.
With good snowfall in the mountains and our reservoirs filling close to capacity, it’s easy to forget the drought we experienced a few years ago.
The reality is that Colorado Springs is located in a semi-arid, high plains environment, with the average annual precipitation of just 16 inches. About 13 inches fall in the form of rain during the growing season, and those who have lived here very long, know that the quality and timing of the rains don’t always come when it is needed most.
Wise use of our resources will always be a priority. We're here to help with efficiency tips, resources and tools.
