In total, customers used an average of 44.9 million gallons per day in March.
This is about 9% more compared to March 2025.
We monitor four major factors to determine if additional actions are needed to conserve water in Colorado Springs.
We assess whether our total supply may fall below 1.5 years of demand. If we approach that point, we may adjust outdoor watering rules, increase education and incentives, and enforce water-waste restrictions.
We monitor storage levels, where water is located, customer demand and any operational constraints.
We use official state and federal drought tools to understand changing conditions.
We must always maintain at least one year of demand in storage and ensure indoor water needs are met at all times.
Every gallon saved today helps our community now and in the future. Small actions add up, and we can all make a difference.
