CAÑON CITY, Colo. (KOAA) — The City of Cañon City is asking members of the public to voluntarily restrict their water use as the city pre-emptively prepares for drought conditions.
According to a city release, the efforts seek a 5% to 10% reduction in water use across the city. Some of the things the city is asking people to do are listed below:
- limit watering to no more than three days per week
- water your lawn before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. to avoid the hottest part of the day
- check for indoor/outdoor leaks
- stay informed about drought updates from the city by signing up for email notifications
To sign up for email notifications, visit the Cañon City government's website. Anyone with questions is asked to reach out to the water department at (719)269-9022.
If you want more questions, the Cañon City government will be hosting a community meeting on Tuesday, May 12, at 5 p.m. at the Skyline Theatre to answer any questions residents and business owners may have.
Editor's Note: The original meeting time, according to the Cañon City Government website, stated the meeting was at 2:00 p.m.
