Denver Water Implements 2023 Summer Water Use Program

It's not less, its' best infographic: Summer watering rules are not about restrictions. They're about the best ways to keep your lawn healthy and green. Water your lawn between 6 p.m. & 10 a.m. 50% of the water you put on your lawn can be lost to evaporation, wind or other factors. Evaporation is accelerated during the hottest times of the day. Water two days a week for the summer (add a thirs day during stretches of hotter weather.) Grass needs about 1/2'' of water, twice a week. Water, rest, water The cycle-and-soak method puts water deep into the roots of your lawn. Break up watering times into shorter start and stop times. Wait up to an hour between start times to allow for the last cycle of irrigation to soak into the soil.
Keep those heads in tip-top shape Broken sprinkler heads add up to large waste a broken sprinkler head wastes: 10 gallons per minute, 150 gallons in a 15-minute run time. Make repairs within 10 days - the sooner the better. Every time you mow your lawn, check your sprinkler heads for leaks, damage or misalignment. Get water-wise! Visit denverwater.org/bestpractices for tips on efficient outdoor water use.

Steven Posavec

Lakehurst Bids Farwell to its’ Longest Serving Board Member

Mr. Steven Posavec, Lakehurst’s longest serving board member, announced his retirement from the Board of Directors after thirty-one years of service. Mr. Posavec served faithfully in every publicly elected district position as President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Steve’s broad technical management talents have greatly contributed to the policies guiding the success of the District’s domestic water and sanitary sewer service operations for more than six-thousand accounts.

Steven was involved in many pivotal, important decisions that shaped the way Lakehurst operates today including, but not limited to, Belleview-Simms Pump Station discussions with Denver Water, several iterations of the Lakehurst – Willowbrook sanitary sewer agreement, the inclusion of Lochmoor Water and Sanitation District into Lakehurst to provide sanitary sewer services for approximately sixty residential properties, and several District water and sewer projects that have improved and updated both systems. These are just some of the notable projects that Director Posavec participated in over his lengthy tenure as a board member.

The Lakehurst Board of Directors and all the staff extend a sincere and heartfelt “thank you” to Steven Posavec for his long and distinguished service to Lakehurst and wish him well in the future.
