The City of Golden has declared a Stage 1 drought, joining several other Colorado cities — including Denver — in asking residents to restrict their water use. The restrictions took effect Friday.
City officials said the move is proactive. Golden’s reservoir levels are near full, and the restrictions are intended to protect that storage capacity amid an unseasonably warm winter.
Under the restrictions, residents should only water their lawns two days a week, between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. Golden residents also have 10 days from Friday to fix any leaks on their property.
