Council May Consider Drought Declaration

Broomfield remains under a Drought Watch, and city staff may recommend a formal Drought I declaration at the August 25 Council meeting if water use does not fall by mid-August. The latest city update says the non-potable reuse system is under significant stress and that reuse customers, including parks, were asked to reduce water use by 20 percent. A formal declaration is not confirmed in the current notice, so residents should watch for the Council's final action and any new mandatory rules.
