Outdoor Watering

The Honor System
Unlike many other Colorado communities, Parker Water does not have any “mandatory” watering restrictions at this time. We do ask that customers follow the voluntary watering schedule posted each season on this website. So far, the honor system has worked well for our community and we appreciate your cooperation.

Increasing your outdoor water-efficiency saves money
Most customers will find that they can remain in the second tier (under 20,000 gallons per month) by watering their lawns no more than every third day. This also promotes a deeper root system. Your lawn will be much more drought tolerant.

Water early in the morning to avoid excessive evaporation; it is usually less windy, and the water pressure is generally higher. Try to avoid watering paved areas and don’t use your hose to wash sidewalks and driveways.  

You can audit your lawn watering by reading your meter prior to the start of lawn watering, and reading it when finished to determine the number of gallons used per cycle.
