Knowledge is Power!#
Stay Informed During a Flood#
Have you ever wondered how much rain is falling near your house or what the flow rate is on the Poudre River? You can access real-time data from the City’s early flood warning system that includes streamflow and precipitation gages throughout the city.
Staff from Utilities and the City’s Office of Emergency Preparedness are notified when gages register stream flow depths or rainfall intensities that exceed preset thresholds.

Did You Know?
Insulating hot water pipes leading from the water heater helps keep your hot water from cooling off before it gets to the tap.
Watering every third day helps the grass develop deeper roots and use moisture deep in the ground.
Fats, oils and grease can clog the pipes in your home and the City’s wastewater system. Don’t put them down the drain. Toss them instead.
