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.
QUICK TIPS TO
SAVE WATER
INDOORS
The hoses are rolled up and the
sprinklers are turned off, which makes
for a good time to shift our focus to
using water efficiently indoors.
Here are some quick tips to make the
most of your indoor water use:
• Spend five minutes or less in the
shower. Quick showers use less
water than baths.
• Fix all leaky toilets, faucets and
pipes. Check for a leaky toilet by
putting a few drops of food
coloring in the tank. If the color
appears in the bowl after 30
minutes, the toilet is leaking. You
may need to replace the flapper to
fix the leak. Check the water supply
lines under your sink for damp
spots or bulges in the hose, which
may indicate a leak.
• Replace an old toilet with an ultrahigh-efficiency
toilet, which can
pay for itself over time in water
savings. Denver Water offers rebates
for qualifying models — visit

TAKING WATER
INNOVATION TO THE
NEXT LEVEL AT
NATIONAL WESTERN
Denver Water, CSU join forces to
develop a world-class center for
water research, innovation and
education.
Denver Water and Colorado State
University are working to imagine
collaborative research, educational, and
lab spaces at the National Western
Center.
Innovators, scientists and leaders of
today must find opportunities to
research, test and demonstrate the
unknowns in a risk-free environment.
And, for Denver Water, this has to be
done while continuing to provide the
same high-quality, reliable supply
already being delivered today.
A mission that’s easier said than done
— until now.
Enter, Denver’s National Western
Center: A proposed 250-acre campus
located at the nexus of I-70 and the
South Platte River, with a focus on
promoting innovation.
As part of the new National Western
Center, Denver Water has partnered
with Colorado State University to
develop a Water Resources Center that
will focus on research, policy,
