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.

Water Efficiency Plan

The City of Greeley’s Water Efficiency Plan is a roadmap of strategic objectives and water conservation programs to ensure future water supplies. The Water Efficiency Plan was approved by the Water and Sewer Board, Planning Commission and City Council in 2022. The main objectives of the plan are to maximize widespread efficiency in all indoor water use, set goals for more resilient landscapes, and educate customers on water use goals. It will provide direction on how to advance water conservation efforts and build citywide capacity to:

  • Create efficiencies and consistencies among policies, plans, projects, and programs
  • Maximize cost-saving opportunities
  • Create goals with clear measurements for success

Waterline Replacement Project Impacts Farr Neighborhood for Several Months

Release Date:
May 22, 2024

GREELEY, Colo. —The City of Greeley starts work on May 28 to replace an aging waterline under 27th Street between 11th and 15th Avenues in the Farr neighborhood. The existing line from the 1950s is undersized due to infill growth, and after 70 years of service leaks and main breaks are impacting residents.

 

“The new 12-inch waterline will provide better capacity, redundancy and fire flows for residents and businesses,” said Rebecca Andrus, deputy director of water and wastewater operations for the City of Greeley. “Construction activities will require closing 27th Street for all but local traffic. We thank those affected by this project for their patience and understanding.” 

 

Greeley Water will provide additional project details and traffic impacts to residents who live near the construction area. Drivers should follow detour signs during the project. Farr Park and Hillside Pool will be accessible from 26th Street throughout construction. The city expects the project to wrap up in October.

 

Greeley has over 670 miles of waterlines to operate and maintain throughout Greeley. Many lines are older, so regular maintenance or replacement keeps the system running well. This project helps the city continue providing reliable, high-quality water to customers.
