We provide safe, clean and reliable water service to our community. It takes long-term planning, careful monitoring and a commitment to conservation efforts to ensure our access to this precious resource lasts for future generations.
How we source water differs from many other cities in the United States. Colorado Springs isn't located near a river or other major body of water. Most of our water comes from high country snowmelt along the Continental Divide and must travel a great distance through tunnels and pipes to get here.
Once it’s here, we treat, test and monitor our water to ensure it meets drinking water standards. We also have robust programs to help you use less water, saving you money and helping our community be more sustainable.
