Denver Bans Lawn Sprinklers Starting Oct 1 | Denver News

Denver’s water authority is cracking down on lawn watering starting October 1st, banning sprinklers as the region battles record-breaking heat and drought. With reservoirs at just 73% capacity — and possibly dropping further — officials say this move is critical to conserve enough water to support thousands of families. While lawns will go dormant with the first frost, trees, shrubs, and gardens can still be hand-watered or via drip systems. Parks may get special exemptions. The goal? Save enough water to tide the city over until next spring’s snowmelt — and officials will reassess everything then, hoping for a wetter winter to refill the taps.
