Denver, CO, August 26, 2026 —

DENVER – The Denver Board of Water Commissioners has announced the early end to the annual lawn watering season. Effective October 1st, all outdoor watering of lawns is prohibited as the city grapples with intensifying drought conditions.

This decision comes as a measure to conserve water resources in response to the ongoing dry spell. The Denver Water system serves more than 1.5 million people and has implemented watering restrictions in the past to manage demand during periods of low supply.

The official end of the watering season typically falls later in October, but the current environmental circumstances have necessitated an earlier cessation. Denver Water has been closely monitoring precipitation levels and reservoir storage throughout the year.

While specific details regarding the severity of the drought and the exact trigger for this early end were not provided, the board’s action underscores the seriousness of the water shortage. Further information on water conservation efforts and the outlook for the coming seasons is expected from Denver Water.
