Press Release: Boulder County Water Providers Call for Conservation as Dry Conditions Continue

While each community’s water situation is unique, the call to conserve is countywide.

Record hot temperatures and low winter snowfall have led to drought conditions across Boulder County, and beyond. These conditions result in less water available in rivers and higher overall water demands, affecting both water supplies and ecosystems. In
response to these challenging conditions, Boulder County water providers are joining together to promote community conservation efforts across the region. Please visit the full Press Release for more information.

Stage 1 (Mild) Water Shortage Declared

At its April 16th meeting, the Board of Directors declared a Stage 1 (Mild) Water Shortage Condition.

Under Stage 1, water supply remains adequate, but conditions are beginning to place moderate pressure on the District’s supply relative to demand. Customers are asked to begin conserving water voluntarily.

Stage 1 Guidelines and Actions:

• Voluntary Conservation: Customers are requested to reduce water use and follow recommended restrictions on certain water uses. (See link on our website www.lefthandwater.gov for details.)

• System Operations: Flushing of fire hydrants and dead-end water lines will be limited to what is necessary to maintain water quality.

• Fix Leaks Quickly: All leaks must be addressed promptly. The District will respond quickly to reported leaks – customers are encouraged to do the same on their property.

• Public Education: The District will continue to provide water-wise tips, tools, and educational resources.

• Hydrant Meter Use: Water use through hydrant meters will be monitored to manage overall system demand. Approved uses, including potable water delivery and construction within the District, will continue to be allowed.

Your actions now can make a difference.

Early conservation helps protect our water supply and reduces the likelihood of stricter restrictions later.

Water Supply Update:

Due to current snowpack levels and following an analysis of conditions in the District’s primary water basins, Left Hand Water District is asking all customers to begin voluntary water conservation measures immediately. See full statement on our website for more information.
