🚰 Nissen Reservoir: The Nissen Reservoir Drainageway project aims to ensure a safer, more resilient future by preventing flooding during significant precipitation events. This project enhances flood control and drainage infrastructure from Tennyson Street near Walmart to just upstream of Lowell Boulevard.

🚰 Water Use and Drought Restriction: Broomfield’s clay-heavy soil absorbs water slowly, so watering too quickly leads to runoff. To conserve water and keep landscapes healthy, water slowly and less often. Use the cycle-and-soak method to let water absorb, adjust for shade and turn off sprinklers when it rains. Learn more.
