The Denver Water Board is raising the rate you pay for water by 13%.  Additionally, water users should expect to see increases continually for next couple of years.  This information is noted in the Denver Post’s editorial page on November 15th , 2009.  www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_13776994?source=pophome

Water Legacy asks:  Should we be concerned?

Our mission is conservation through reusing greywater to flush your toilets. Reusing greywater causes less water (up to 30%) therefore reducing your consumption of fresh residential water.  In Denver, the water rates have already gone up 81% since 2001.  The biggest challenge facing water conservation is that people expect the price of water to be cheap and the supply abundant.  As prices increase, one will look at reduction of cost and that is through conservation. 

We ask that Denverites and citizens of the west become more fully aware of methods of water consumption reduction and take time to evaluate the use of greywater to flush your toilets.
