Water is making headlines in Denver this weekend as the city rides out the heart of summer 2025. With the North American monsoon arriving right on schedule, Denver is seeing a return to more typical rain patterns after a mostly dry start to July. According to Denverite, the second half of the month has brought nearly daily afternoon showers and thunderstorms, a familiar sight for longtime residents and an important boost following a slow spring runoff. This week’s forecast promises highs in the 80s and a steady chance of thunderstorms, meaning Denverites should stay weather-aware for potential flash flood alerts, especially along the Front Range.

Despite these recent downpours, Denver International Airport has only tallied 0.64 inches of precipitation for July, which is roughly 30 percent of the historical normal of 2.14 inches based on Weather and Climate Info’s long-term records. These light totals mean that the city still faces a deficit for the month, so rainfall from the last 48 hours is especially valuable for area lawns, gardens, and, most critically, reservoirs. With average July temps hovering just below the normal at 74.8 degrees Fahrenheit, outdoor activities remain enjoyable, though the hot moments have pushed up past 100 degrees in recent weeks.

The city’s water quality remains strong and safe for drinking. Denver Water maintains a close watch on reservoir levels and treatment facilities, reassuring residents that tap water continues to meet all federal and state standards. No new advisories or quality issues have been reported in the past 48 hours. However, an abrupt dry spell in the high country earlier this month led to less spring runoff than hoped, as detailed by Denver Water’s own reports. Denver’s reservoirs nearly filled but ultimately fell short of a predicted spill, a reminder that conservation is still key even as monsoon rains arrive.

Meanwhile, water management news continues to ripple across Colorado. The Colorado River Water Conservation District, with its senior Shoshone water rights dating back to 1902, remains in the spotlight. Front Range municipal providers—including Denver Water—are currently involved in a historic debate over the actual historic use of the Shoshone hydroelectric plant’s water rights, according to Vail Daily. This discussion could have broad implications for how much water is diverted east from the Colorado River and its tributaries to supply Denver and other Front Range metros. While the River District estimates around 844,644 acre-feet of average annual use, some utilities are contesting that number and are seeking clarification from the state’s water board in September.

As always, Denverites are encouraged to keep celebrating and sustaining local waterways. From volunteer events like RiversEdge West’s restoration work, to family gatherings focused on river safety and stewardship, the metro area community is showing its appreciation for the rivers that keep our city moving and taps flowing.
