We have reduced per capita water demand by over 30% in recent years. Because our members are committed to conservation and water efficiency, water users have reduced water use to less than 120 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), already surpassing the goal for 2050 set for our region in the Colorado Water Plan of 129 gpcd.
South Metro Water provides programs and resources to our members to further enhance their efforts to conserve this precious resource in our region.
The Water Ambassadors Program brings educators and professionals into classrooms with activities and engaging presentations to empower students to make wise choices about water.
South Metro Water is a Professional Certifying Organization for the Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper (QWEL) program, helping to educate and certify QWEL landscapers throughout our region.
Local governments can adopt this ready-to-use method to promote efficient use of water in landscapes, reduce water waste, and establish procedures for the design, installation, and maintenance of water-efficient landscape and irrigation systems.
