 Water is always top-of-mind for Denver, especially as summer heats up and the city keeps an eye on reservoirs, rivers, and the skies above. Over the past 48 hours, Denverites have enjoyed relatively cool mornings and comfortably warm days, with temperatures ranging from a low of 52 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday to a high of 91 degrees by midday. Denver International Airport reported partly cloudy skies through the early hours of Sunday and an overnight low just above 62 degrees, making the early August weather pleasant for outdoor activities. In fact, according to the National Weather Service, the average daily temperature has hovered close to 72 degrees, which is slightly cooler than seasonal averages.

As for precipitation, things have been mostly dry. The official climate report indicates that just a trace amount of rain was recorded on August 2nd, bringing the month-to-date precipitation to only 0.14 inches. This is actually below the monthly norm for early August, and the city remains more than half an inch behind its usual rainfall for this point in the year. Looking ahead, Accuweather forecasts suggest Denver can expect mostly dry days heading into the week, with highs inching toward the low to mid-90s. So, those longing for rain or hoping for a sudden monsoon may have to wait a bit longer.

While dry spells might sound concerning, the good news is that Denver’s drinking water supplies remain stable. The South Platte River, a vital source for city tap water, continues to see active stewardship. Community events like the upcoming South Platte Cleanup, highlighted by the Colorado Watershed Coalition, underline just how important river health is for drinking water quality and recreation. Meanwhile, new technologies manufactured right here in Denver—like the Solar Sipper, featured in a recent Colorado Public Radio segment—are drawing attention for their ability to extract and clean up fossil fuel contaminants, helping to safeguard groundwater even as industrial and environmental stresses grow.

The water quality itself is holding steady, with Denver’s treatment facilities providing safe, clean water that meets all regulatory standards. There was no reported contamination or unusual spikes in waterborne pollutants over the weekend, so residents can sip from the tap with confidence.

Finally, the local community continues to engage with water resources in fun and educational ways. The annual Poudre RiverFest and wetland tours rolling out this week invite families to explore the ecosystems that feed into Denver’s water supply. Meanwhile, the Colorado Water Congress Summer Conference later this month promises to tackle tough questions about conservation, storage, and collaborative management, ensuring Denver’s water future is as resilient as possible.
