Reclaimed Water

Using reclaimed water helps maintain a constant water supply for City parks and golf courses. Even if you don't use our parks or golf courses, reclaimed water is good for you, too. Here are some examples of its benefits:

• Reduced demand for drinking water and scarce raw water supplies.
• Efficient use of existing facilities and City employees.
• City growth can be maintained responsibly.

Westminster currently has 130 reclaimed water sites, making up more than 770 irrigated acres. These sites can be found throughout the city in parks, golf courses, schools, sports fields, commercial properties, and HOA common areas.

Westminster must meet standards set by the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) to use reclaimed water. The Reclaimed Water Team ensures all sites remain in compliance and quickly points out any violations that need to be fixed. All sites and site irrigators using reclaimed water should familiarize themselves with these regulations. You can learn more about the regulations here.

If you would like to learn more about the rules regarding reclaimed water usage, please visit our document library.
