Water Conservation

In Colorado, we rely heavily on snowmelt for our water supply. Coloradans know the weather here can be unpredictable, making it difficult to know how much water will be available each summer. We can experience several years of drought and then receive record snow levels.

It's important to remember that Aurora has a semi-arid climate. Aurora's snow and rain are about half of the average annual precipitation for the United States, so it's important that we all do our part to help conserve water.

Water conservation can help you save water and money. Staff is here to help, so if you have additional questions, call 303.739.7195 or email [email protected]. You can also view the Aurora Water 2015 Municipal Water Efficiency Plan.


Residential Resources

Aurora Water can help you save water, whether your property is big, small or somewhere between. We’ll work with you to identify areas for greater efficiency and connect you with the right services and rebates for your needs.

Before you install sod, seed or an irrigation system recently, you're going to need a permit. Find applications and additional information above.

We have one of the largest demonstration gardens in the state at the Aurora Municipal Center. Wandering through the garden is a great way to learn about the variety of low-water plants available to add to your garden. We have volunteer opportunities in the garden with staff who have expertise in water-wise plants.
