Water Conservation

The City of Greeley is proud to have a long history of water stewardship here in northern Colorado. Since 1907, we’ve provided safe, high-quality water supplies for our residents while ensuring a reliable supply for the future. One of the many ways we’re safeguarding your water supply is through water conservation. In fact, Greeley offers one of the most robust water conservation programs in Colorado.

With just over 13 inches of rainfall per year, Greeley is considered a semi-arid climate. This means local water supplies are scarce and must be used very wisely. To help customers save water indoors as well as outdoors, Greeley provides a wide range of water conservation programs and services that benefit a variety of water users.

Greeley Works to Mitigate Watershed Damage from 2020 Fire Season

The largest fire in Colorado history, the Cameron Peak Fire, burned last year in the watersheds that supply water to the City of Greeley and communities across Northern Colorado. Now, Northern Colorado communities have taken an all-hands approach to mitigating the resulting watershed damage. The Greeley City Council and the Greeley Water and Sewer Board have signed off on an intergovernmental cost- and work-sharing agreement among Greeley, the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County to try to soften the blow of post-fire impacts.
