Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR) irrigates parks in compliance with Denver Water Summer Operating Rules (http://denverwater.org/Conservation/WaterUseRulesRegulations/SummerWateringRules/).
If you see watering in the parks occurring between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. the following may be occurring:
We carefully examined water use at 30 Denver recreation centers and 6 outdoor pool facilities to determine what cost-effective water conservation measures could be employed to reduce demand. Download the full report.
Working with Denver Environmental Health, Denver Public Works and Denver water, we developed a lake management and protection plan. Download the full report.
