ABOUT COLORADO WATER 2012
Colorado Springs Utilities, in partnership with the Pikes Peak Library District and twelve other non-profits, is offering free and fun educational programs throughout the year as part of
Colorado Water 2012 to celebrate our most precious resource - water! You can also follow ongoing statewide efforts by visiting the Colorado Water 2012
blog.
Colorado Water 2012 is a statewide celebration and recognition of water; a resource of huge importance nationally, but even more so in states like Colorado, and cities like Colorado Springs where there is no local river or waterway.
For Colorado Springs Utilities, Water 2012 comes at a critical time as we face increasing regulatory requirements, aging infrastructure, fluctuating supply due to variable weather conditions, and building the Southern Delivery System. The event brings a year-long focus on these issues as well as a renewed focus on where our water comes from (approximately 70% of our water supply comes from more than 200 miles away), the unique challenges we have historically faced to bring water to the city, and the importance of using the resource wisely.
