Ask Governor Hickenlooper to Prioritize Water Conservation!
Water conservation in our state's cities and towns is crucial for protecting our rivers – and the wildlife, residents, agriculture and industry that depend on them.
We need our state's cities and towns to do their part to conserve our precious water resources.
Instead, to satisfy our state's growing demand for water, we take it from our rivers. And at this point, our rivers don't have any more to give.
Water conservation is faster, better and cheaper. But those who seek to maintain the status quo are standing in the way of progress. That's why Governor Hickenlooper needs to hear from Coloradoans like YOU that water conservation is what our state wants. He already has said "every discussion about water should start with conservation" so let him know you agree.
Please ask Governor Hickenlooper to prioritize urban water conservation in the state’s first-ever water plan.
Dear Governor Hickenlooper:
As a citizen of Colorado, I want you to know that I support prioritizing water conservation in our cities and towns.
As you know, water conservation is faster, better, and cheaper than new water projects, which would cost billions to build, harm our environment, wreck our rivers, and increase our water bills.
With just a 10% per year reduction in our water usage, we can conserve enough water to serve 1.8 million families in Colorado. We should adopt this 10% per year goal through 2050 in our state water plan.
Thank you for your leadership, and for protecting the future of Colorado’s rivers.
