概要

 Hey Denverites, buckle up for a splash of reality on our water woes. Amid record-low snowpack in the Colorado River Basin at 55% of normal and South Platte at 42%—the worst in 40 years, according to Denver Water's Nathan Elder—our reservoirs are hovering at 80% capacity as of April 6, well below the usual 85%. That's the latest from Denver Water's supply update, signaling no quick relief from this drought gripping the Rockies.

Just last week on March 25, the Denver Board of Water Commissioners declared Stage 1 drought for the first time since 2013, slapping mandatory outdoor watering restrictions on 1.5 million customers across Denver and suburbs like Arvada and Lakewood. Axios and CBS Colorado report the goal: slash use by 20% to dodge tougher rules. Single-family homes? Even addresses water Thursdays and Sundays; odds get Wednesdays and Saturdays. Multifamily spots and businesses stick to Tuesdays and Fridays. No sprinkling from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and hold off on sprinklers till mid-May—hand-water trees sparingly instead.

Aurora's right behind, finalizing Stage 1 around April 7 with matching schedules and bans on new lawns, per Denver Urban Gardens. Precipitation? Zilch to cheer about after a brutally warm, dry winter—the warmest water year on record, Denverite notes. Drinking water stays safe and unrestricted indoors, but expect drought pricing talks to hike rates on heavy outdoor guzzlers.

Tyrone Gant, board president, calls it unprecedented: "We need everyone to help." Thornton jumped in March 15, delaying watering seasons. We're pumping extra from Chatfield Reservoir and recapturing flows, but streammelt forecasts are dismal.

Stay smart: mulch gardens, fix leaks, and report waste to 303-893-2444. Together, we can weather this dry spell!
