Water Shortage Action Plan

Fort Collins Outdoor Water Use Restrictions October 1, 2020

The Outdoor Water Use Restrictions are in effect beginning October 1st. The City Manager Darin Atteberry signed a declaration and ordered for mandatory action level 4 water restrictions. This affects lawn watering and other outdoor water uses. He hopes to avoid a water shortage due to the ongoing drought conditions, the Cameron Peak fire, and infrastructure repairs known as the Horsetooth Outlet Project (HOP).

This is pursuant to Fort Collins City Code Section 26-167(a) and the Water Shortage Action Plan (WSAP). Action level 4 alternative water restrictions are reserved for unique water shortage that are not adequately addressed by the other action levels in the WSAP.

Mandatory water restrictions will go into effect Thursday October 1st. The city manager will declare an end of the water shortage and lift restrictions when they are no longer needed, expected by November 30th.
