Water Conservation

Drought occurs in virtually all climate zones and is a normal, recurring aspect of climate. For Grand County, a drought is a condition of insufficient water supply caused by a deficit in precipitation and/or extensive trans‐basin diversions. The Drought Preparedness Plan includes recommendations to establish water conservation measures that should be in place at all times to help ensure water demands are met while also encouraging efficient water use throughout the County.
