The Parker Population Boom

When the Parker Water and Sanitation District first began operations in 1962, there were significantly less people using water than today. Denver’s population alone has grown more than 35 percent in the past two decades, and the same is true of Parker. What hasn’t changed much in the entire state, however, is the amount of precipitation Colorado gets. It has virtually remained the same at only 15.8 inches annually. Stay informed. Learn how you can make a difference. Because you really can!

Average Usage

DID YOU KNOW…the average person in Parker uses 163 gallons of water a day vs. a Denver Water customer who uses 128 gallons. Why the big difference? Primarily because Denver residents hand water plants which uses a lot less water than us suburbanites who generally have a sprinkler irrigation system that could be significantly more efficient through a few simple updates. 

A typical family’s water habits look like this: 

• 54% landscaping (Xeriscape plants/shrubs saves 2,500 or more gallons!)
  
• 13% toilets (use high-efficiency toilets)
  
• 11% laundry (high-efficiency washers saves
  216-288 gallons)
  
• 10% showers/baths (shower 5 minutes less
  saves 200 gallons)
  
• 6% faucets (turn off when brushing teeth/shaving)
  
• 5% leaks (add up quickly, a typical leak
  = 600 gallons)
  
• 1% dishwashers (only run when full)

Important Winter Watering Information

It has recently come to my attention that many of the HOA's in Parker have been approached by landscape maintenance companies regarding winter watering. As this has been a very dry fall and winter, this is a great idea, but it is important that it be done correctly. The one thing you should NOT do is activate your sprinkler system to accomplish this task. Read More...
