Water Restrictions No Longer In Effect
Mandatory outdoor water restrictions on lawn watering and other outdoor water uses end Tuesday, Nov. 10 for Fort Collins Utilities water customers.

Cameron Peak Fire
We are carefully monitoring the fire and any potential impacts it may have on our water supply infrastructure. We must comply with water quality standards for treated drinking water per the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and state regulations, even in the event of a wildfire, and processes are in place to treat the water supply and adjust water sources when necessary.
