Denver Ends Lawn Watering Early | Denver News

Denver’s worst water shortage in over a century has forced a dramatic change: lawn watering is officially ending a month early, October 1st, and won’t resume until the Board of Water Commissioners says so. With reservoirs at 72% and dropping, record heat and no rain have made conservation non-negotiable. Sprinklers are banned, but hand watering and drip systems are still allowed for gardens and trees. Lawns will stay dry through winter and likely into spring. Officials warn that overwatering by a few is hurting everyone’s water supply — and there’s no guarantee sprinklers will come back on next year.
