Area utilities are urging customers to go easy on their water consumption this year to help the Grand Valley better absorb the impacts of continuing drought.
Water providers and other officials gathered Wednesday at a press conference to discuss the expected below-normal spring runoff this year and the need for everyone to work together to help safeguard precious water supplies.
The event was a project of the Drought Response Information Project, or DRIP, an effort involving local water providers and others to inform the public about the importance of conservation.
âDrought conditions are expected to be similar to 2020â this year, said Andrea Lopez, external affairs director for the Ute Water Conservancy District.
