Outdoor potable watering restrictions are in place for summer 2021. Ensuring the water treatment plant capacity to produce indoor drinking water (potable) remains the top priority, especially as we enter peak demand season.

Efficiently watering your lawn makes a huge difference for the treatment plant's capacity; every drop truly does matter. As we move into summer, we will continue to update residents on treatment plant capacity and work together as a community to avoid reaching peak consumption.

  • Outdoor watering is permitted between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m.
  • Odd street numbers watering permitted on Tues. and Sat.
  • Even street numbers watering permitted on Wed. and Sun.
  • Irrigation runoff shall be kept to a minimum.
  • Overspray onto non-vegetated areas is strictly prohibited.
  • Washing outside paved or concrete areas is prohibited.

Residents with non-potable irrigation systems (water not treated for drinking/consumption) are encouraged to limit water use but not mandated by these restrictions.
On April 30th, a poll was launched to understand the community’s perception of low water (xeric) landscapes. A total of 203 responses were received in the two weeks the poll was open. Results are depicted in the graphic above:

The Town of Wellington is evaluating landscape and irrigation design standards for new developments in the Town. ​This is a technical update that focuses on developing standards for new residential, new commercial, streetscapes, parks, open space, and may include recommended guidelines and options for updating existing landscapes if desired by the owner. 

Updating the landscaping and irrigation standards is one of several strategies being developed to conserve and prolong the Town's water resources. 
Code Compliance
You may only park motor homes, campers, trailers, and boats on the street for 48 hours per month. Make sure when you're preparing for a trip and packing up to hit the road that you're not blocking a neighbor's driveway, blocking the view for a stop sign, or impeding people from seeing around the corner while driving.

Make sure to dispose of your wastes and gray water at a proper dump station on your way home. Check out the code compliance page for Town requirements related to trailers and recreation vehicles.

2020 Water Quality Report!
The Town of Wellington is pleased to present the 2020 Water Quality Report as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Colorado to inform customers about the quality of their drinking water. The Annual Drinking Water Quality Report includes details about the origin of the Town water supply, what it contains, and how it compares to state standards. Based on water quality monitoring data collected in 2020, the Town of Wellington's water met or surpassed all state and federal drinking water health standards, which are the primary standards for treating and monitoring water. All state compliance testing was completed by a State of Colorado certified laboratory.

In 2020 water for the Town of Wellington customers was produced from two water sources using four unique treatment systems. The water sources include the primary source for the Water Treatment Plant, North Poudre Irrigation Reservoir #3, as well as a groundwater well system. The North Poudre Irrigation Reservoir #3 is located Northwest of the Town, and it includes the conventional treatment, as well as the Micro-Filtration Unit. The Town-owned wells which provide the water for the Nano-Filtration Unit and the reverse osmosis unit are located on the Coal Creek alluvial aquifer. Once the well water is treated through those units, it is blended into the overall distribution system.

Total production totals for both sources are as follows: 363 million gallons were produced from the North Poudre Reservoir #3 Conventional/Micro Filtration treatment plant. 59 million gallons were produced from the well system through the Nano-Filtration Unit.

The Town of Wellington remains committed to producing safe drinking water by fully satisfying all health, safety, and reporting standards for 2020. To view the full report, use the button below.
