Boulder Enacts Mandatory Water Restrictions

Homeowners Can Only Water Twice A Week

POSTED: 11:53 a.m. MDT May 22, 2002
UPDATED: 2:37 p.m. MDT May 22, 2002

On Tuesday, Boulder became the latest city along the Front Range to enact mandatory watering restrictions to deal with the state's record-level drought.

Homeowners will be allowed to water only twice a week for 15 minutes each day and only between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m.

Boulder will be on the same watering schedule as most other cities imposing water restrictions.

The city will allow a two-week grace period so that homeowners get used to the watering schedule.

On June 5, the city will hand out tickets to watering violators. Fines range from $50 for a first offense to $300 for a third offense.

The city is trying to cut water use by 25 percent so it avoids running out of water before next spring.

Officials said if drought conditions worsen, more restrictions and water bill charges could be added.
