DENVER — Additional water restrictions in Denver are set to begin March 25, as water managers warn this year’s snowpack is among the lowest on record.

Denver Water says it plans to implement the restrictions following a board meeting, marking the first time since 2013 that additional limits beyond the typical summer rules that have been put in place for outdoor watering.

“We’re going to be supply limited, and we don’t have the snowpack to fill the reservoirs,” said Nathan Elder, manager of water supply for Denver Water. “We're going to have to ask our customers to conserve water and we're going to have to go on mandatory water restrictions.”

Denver Water says businesses and homeowners will be assigned two watering days per week. Customers caught watering lawns outside of those days could face potential fines.
