概要

 Denver Water just dropped a bombshell on March 25, 2026: they've declared a Stage 1 drought and slapped mandatory restrictions on 1.5 million customers across Denver and suburbs like Littleton, Lakewood, and Arvada. According to CBS Colorado, this is the first such move since 2013, triggered by unprecedented lows—snowpack in the Colorado River Basin at 55% of normal and South Platte at 42%, both the worst in 40 years. Denver Water's own reports confirm reservoirs are at 80% capacity as of March 23, below the usual 85%.

No relief in sight from precipitation either. Denver Water manager Nathan Elder warned that even a record-snowy April—needing 7 to 8 feet more—couldn't catch up, with accelerated melting underway amid record warmth. CBS Colorado meteorologists noted temps hitting near 90 degrees that week, fueling the crisis.

Lawn lovers, listen up: water grass only twice weekly. Even addresses hit Sundays and Thursdays; odds get Wednesdays and Saturdays. Apartments, businesses, and HOAs stick to Tuesdays and Fridays. No sprinkling 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.—that's peak waste time, per Denverite. Hand-water trees, shrubs, veggies anytime outside those hours, but hold off auto-systems until mid-May. Car washes? Buckets or shut-off hoses for homes; fleets weekly only. Restaurants serve water on request; hotels skip sheet changes every four days.

Enforcement ramps up with patrols and fines looming, plus drought pricing to hike outdoor use costs while sparing drinking, cooking, and bathing. Denver Water aims for 20% savings to avoid Stage 2 doom by 2027. Leaky systems? Fix in 10 days or else.

Stay smart: power wash only on your days, repair leaks, and embrace brown lawns. We're in this together—every drop counts, as their April 3 blog urges.
