Irrigation Solutions

Denver summers are getting hotter and longer. We need shade trees and cooling greenery around our homes. Harvesting rainwater — a free resource! — and conserving city water by utilizing resources at your disposal can help us save on water bills while also directing water to grow healthier shade trees and flowering perennials. How do can you conserve city water and harvest valuable rainwater??

Our West Denver Irrigation Solutions project is working with community leaders to provide residents with information and tools to:

1. Lower their water bills while still keeping their garden growing, 
2. Collect FREE rainwater to irrigate their trees and perennials,
3. Utilize free and affordable resources to conserve city water

Added bonuses include conserving drinking water for all of Denver, and reducing pollution that runs into our streams from stormwater runoff.
