Drought Plan Questionnaire

The City of Boulder is updating the Drought Plan it uses to plan for, identify and respond to droughts. While Boulder has not declared a drought since 2002, Colorado is a semi-arid state and climate change may exacerbate drought frequency and severity in the future. A typical drought response by water providers like the City of Boulder includes decreasing water demand, which would primarily mean placing limitations on outdoor water use within the community.  

The city is interested in your feedback on potential water use restrictions and how water uses are prioritized in the event of a drought. Your input will help inform drought response measures included in the Drought Plan update that will be finalized in fall 2021. This questionnaire will be open until June 7. Thank you for providing your feedback!
