Since 2017, water budget have helped Greeley residents save millions of gallons of water.

Starting in January 2020, the indoor portion of your water budget will change from 55 gallons per person per day to 45 to reflect more accurately how our community uses water. The outdoor portion may also be slightly decreased to reflect moderate (as opposed to high) water use on lawns. These changes preserves Greeley’s secure water future without a significant change to your water bill.

• Keep your home leak-free by repairing dripping faucets, toilet flappers, and showerheads. In most cases, fixture replacement parts are inexpensive.
  • Place 10 drops of food coloring or a dye tablet (available at utility billing) in the toilet tank. If the color shows up in the bowl within 10 minutes without flushing, you have a leak. Replace the toilet flapper to fix it.
