Help Save Water During Our Highest-Use Months
Runoff season ended early this year, and Longmont is now relying on stored water until spring. More than half of summer water use goes to lawns, so outdoor savings matter most. The City is cutting its own water use, and you can help too: skip a watering day, water before 10 am or after 6 pm, and check your sprinklers for leaks. Find more water conservation tips.
A: It depends, in part, on where you live. The City of Longmont is geographically divided into three election wards per the City’s Charter Section 2.6. You can find out what ward you live in by simply typing in your address into the map on the City’s Wards and Representatives page.
While you’re there you can also learn about At Large Council Representatives, who represent the entire City.
