The Centennial Water & Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to move into Stage 1 drought restrictions at a meeting on July 6. The restrictions will take effect on July 20 and will include the towns of Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Solstice and Northern Douglas County Water & Sanitation District. Customers were encouraged to cut their outdoor water use by 15% to 20%.
Centennial Water has been in a “Drought Watch” through 2021 and into the start of this summer. The warmer, drier drought conditions led the Centennial Water staff and board members to move to Stage 1 drought. On June 21, storage reservoir levels were at 37% of capacity, which is 30% lower than usual for June.
