Longmont Responds to Drought

In response to a dry winter and low snowpack, the City will reduce water consumption by 10% at City-owned greenways, parks, golf courses and other facilities. Residents are encouraged, not required, to do the same. Practice water efficiency at home by watering at night, turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and checking for leaks.
