Winter is coming, Thornton! ❄️

If you haven’t already, it’s time to shut off your irrigation system for the season. Preparing your system now can help protect it from freezing temperatures and costly damage. Don’t wait for the first freeze!

Happy Boss’s Day to our amazing boss, Heather! We’ve all been weathering the drought together this year, and we couldn’t have done it without our fearless water efficiency team leader, Heather!

We’re lucky to have a leader who supports our team and brings so much to Thornton Water every day. Thank you for all you do, Heather!

Imagine waking up, rolling out of bed and turning on the tap to fill your coffee pot.

Nothing happens.

No morning coffee. No shower. No flushing toilet. No water to drink.

You walk your kids to school and look for the family of geese living in the pond.

Only the pond is empty.

You think about the fire department around the corner, the hospital across the street, the animal shelter in the next town, and the family restaurant you visit every Friday.

Every day, pipes, reservoirs, treatment plants, hydrants, meters, and employees work together to bring water to our customers to fulfill essential community needs. Join us and today to celebrate Imagine a Day Without Water and take a moment to appreciate the water that makes our everyday lives possible.

Sweater weather has arrived! 🍁🧣

While you're preparing for winter, so is your garden. You may have noticed your lawn turning green again the past few weeks – that is because cool-season grasses like Kentucky Bluegrass do their best recovery and growing during cooler weather. As the days shorten, your grass will begin to enter dormancy and will require less water. Support this natural cycle by turning off your grass irrigation this month and focusing your watering on your trees and shrubs instead.

For every three weeks without precipitation in the winter:

🌳 Water trees with 10 gallons of water per inch of the tree’s trunk diameter.

🌾 Water plants and shrubs with between 5 and 10 gallons of water, depending on the size of the plant.

Because nothing is scarier than wasting water without knowing it. 🎃💧

Happy National Coffee Day!

Here’s your friendly reminder that water is an essential ingredient in coffee—and pretty much everything else we rely on to put some pep in our step.

Protect our water. Protect our coffee. And we’ll all be better off for it. 😂💧

Source Water Protection Week is a reminder that reliable water starts at the source.

With Colorado experiencing ongoing drought conditions, protecting our water sources is more important than ever. We can all help by using water-wise best practices, preventing pollutants from entering waterways, and caring for the natural resources we depend on. Learn more at ThorntonWater.com.

Together, we can help !

Keep going, City of Thornton Colorado Parks and Recreation ! We are so proud of how our community has come together this year to conserve water during the drought – we are currently right on target with our goal to reduce water consumption by 10%, and it’s not over yet! As the cooler weather moves in, don’t forget to reduce your watering times and start blowing out your sprinklers for winter. Check out our website for recommended watering times for September and tips for preparing your yard for the change in seasons.
