3 Ways to Save Water Outdoors this Summer

Two will Do. Lawns only need water two days each week. You pick the days and in extreme heat, add a day.
Cycle and Soak. Break the amount of watering time for each sprinkler zone into three shorter cycles. This allows water to soak deeper into the soil and require less frequent watering.
Dawn or Dusk. Watering the lawn before 10:00 am or after 6:00 pm cuts down on evaporation.

Thornton Water Drive
All year long, Thornton water customers need to be Water-Saving Champions! The Thornton Water Drive is a way for every community member to work together for water conservation. It's about changing habits and being more aware of how we use our water resources. Explore the city, look for bus posters, print ads and community events. Learn new tips on saving water and put those reminders into practice to help your community. And take the pledge to save 10 gallons of water every day! If each home in Thornton saved 10 gallons a day, we could save over 150 MILLION gallons of water in just one year. Now that's a lot of water! Take the pledge.

Conservation Plan
The City of Thornton has developed a new Water Conservation Plan which establishes long-term water conservation goals that encourage efficient use of available water resources and reduces the amount of additional water needed to serve existing and future customers. The Water Conservation Plan was presented to Thornton City Council and unanimously adopted by Council on May 12, 2009. Thank you to the Thornton City Council and Mayor Hansen for your support. Public comment can be directed to the Water Resources Division 720-977-6500 or info@thorntonwater.com
