Beginning in July, Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) and Little Thompson Water District (LTWD) will continue the blending of our alternate water source, Dry Creek Reservoir, with our primary water source from Carter Lake Reservoir at the water treatment plant.  This will be done at a 10% dilution rate instead of the previous dilution rate that was 20%. 

This is not annual maintenance but hopefully year round blending of the two reservoirs.

While some customers may notice a change in taste or odor, we reassure you it is the same high quality water and is safe to drink.  The filter plant will continue the same daily water quality tests it is currently doing.  

Thank you,

Central Weld County Water District

Ways to Prevent Frozen Pipes:

1. Keep garage doors closed, especially if there are water supply lines in the garage.​

2. Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing, especially if your sinks are on an exterior wall. (If you have small children, be sure to remove any harmful cleaners and household chemicals.)

3. Let the cold water drip from a faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe—even at a trickle—helps prevent pipes from freezing.

4. Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature during day and night. Again, during a cold snap is not the time to set back the thermostat at night to save a few bucks on your heating bill.

5. If you plan to be away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home, set to a temperature no lower than 55° F.

6. For the long term, add insulation to attics, basements, and crawl spaces. Insulation will maintain higher temperatures in those areas. And to prevent drafts, seal cracks and openings around windows, doors, and at sill plates, where the house rests on its foundation.

 7. Make sure sprinklers are turned off and drained.

 8. Please, do not remove meter pit lid covers.

Is drinking tap water safe? 

EPA recommends that Americans continue to use and drink tap water as usual. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that the, “presence of the COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking-water supplies and based on current evidence the risk to water supplies is low.” Additionally, according to the CDC, COVID-19 is mainly thought to spread between people who are in close contact with one another. Read more from the CDC about transmission of COVID-19. Further, EPA’s drinking water regulations require treatment at public water systems to remove or kill pathogens, including viruses.

Did you know?

1. Toilets account for nearly 30% of water used by a typical single-family home.

2. In United States, 50 to 70% of residential water is used for landscaping, most of it to water lawns.

3. Water shortage effects not only state budgets and water bills but also job markets, crop production, and fire risk.

4. Water for non-essential purposes (washing driveways, etc.) is a waste of our valuable resource.

5. Customers are requested to voluntarily limit irrigation of landscaped areas to two days per week and asked to not let a hose run.
