CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS
Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents
on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.
SUMMER WATERING
RULES IN EFFECT
Water connects us all. Denver Water’s summer watering
rules ensure we have enough water now and in the future.
Water belongs to everyone, and we are all responsible for
using it wisely.
Summer watering rules are enforced May 1 to Oct. 1.
• Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering
is NOT
allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
• Water no more than three days per week.
• Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.
• Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete or
asphalt.
• Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.
• Do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.
• Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off valve when washing
your car.
If you see water waste that does not meet these rules, call
Denver Water at 303-893-2444 or report it online at
denverwater.org.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM START UP
When you turn on your irrigation system for the first time,
visually inspect irrigation nozzles and sprinkler lines for
leaks. Nozzles that are broken or gushing should be
replaced. If nozzles are spraying water onto streets or
sidewalks, adjust them to irrigate the landscape. Lastly, if
you see water pooling from underneath the surface of your
landscape, you could have a sprinkler line leak and this
should be fixed! You can always contact a landscaping
company to assist you with sprinkler system issues.
