Colorado Water
Water use amongst Denver Water customers is down 28% from normal, according to the Rocky Mountain News [June 10, 2004, "Water use drops"]. From the article, "In a year of unrestricted water use, Denver Water's 1.2 million customers use about 260 million gallons of water a day in May and June. Through June 10, the average was 188 million gallons a day...For 95 percent of Denver Water's customers, the charge will go from $4.91 to $8.51. That's more than Thornton, Aurora, Arvada and Golden, which charge less than $7 bimonthly, but it's less than the $26 at Highlands Ranch, $16.24 in Boulder and $9.40 in Westminster. The hike will raise about $8 million a year, which Denver Water needs because the drought has dropped water sales." Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [June 10, 2004, "Denver Water ups service fee by 73 percent"].
