The City of Westminster, Colorado, is in the Denver Metro Area, within both Jefferson and Adams counties. Westminster provides drinking water to approximately 135,000 people both inside and outside the city limits, and population is expected to increase in the future. Westminster also faces the challenge of meeting increased water demand in the face of decreased supply due to drought. Due to high water usage for outdoor irrigation (50% of the City’s annual treated drinking water in the summer), converting non-essential turf to low-water use alternative landscaping offers the City an important opportunity to conserve water.
