Huzzah and hey-nonny-nonny! Denver Water is giving us a third day of watering each week<\/a>. Folks in my address cohort will be able to water Wednesday, Saturday, and now Monday as well.<\/p>\n

Rrg. Missed the Monday this week.<\/p>\n

Reservoirs have filled up substantially further than expected. As well, with the heat, violations have also spiked.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, use hit 359 million gallons, well over the average daily goal of 197 million gallons a day, according to Denver Water spokeswoman Trina McGuire Collier.
\n“People are definitely using more,” said Mcguire Collier, but that’s still much less than the 500 million gallons a day people used to consume before the drought hit.
\nTo date, Denver Water customers have reduced overall consumption by about 28 percent, McGuire Collier said.<\/p>\n

While some other Front Range communities have gone back to all-volunteer restrictions, Denver Water has (wisely, I think) kept some level of mandatory restrictions <\/a>in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
