Ways to conserve water

The summer months are finally upon us and along with backyard barbecues, poolside lounging, and sun-filled hikes also comes the responsibility of staying water conscious.  It’s no secret that we in Colorado have a very arid climate and are therefore more susceptible to droughts. It’s our duty as Coloradans to protect this very important resource! Here are 50 easy ways to help conserve water this summer.


  1. When watering plants, apply water only as fast as the soil can absorb it.
  2. Use sprinklers that deliver big drops of water, close to the ground.
  3. Use a water-conserving icemaker.
  4. Teach children to turn off faucets tightly after each use.
  5. While you wait for hot water, collect the cold water and save it for watering plants.
  6. Adjust your lawn mower to 1.5-2”. Taller grass requires less water.
  7. Re-use the water for cooking pasta to water your plants.
  8. Consider attending a landscape class for water-saving tips.
  9. Wash company vehicles at commercial car washes that recycle water.
  10. Hire a GreenPlumberⓇ to help reduce your water, chemical, and energy use.
  11. Check your sprinkler system frequently and make adjustments as needed.
  12. Create a goal of how much water your company can save and then reward yourselves.
  13. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean patios, sidewalks and driveways.
  14. Give your irrigation system a checkup to see if it is working efficiently.
  15. Take 5 minute showers instead of baths.
  16. Report broken pipes, leaky hydrants, and errant sprinklers you see to your local water provider.  
  17. Install water-saving aerators on all your faucets.
  18. If your dishwasher is new, cut back on rinsing.
  19. Cook food in as little water as possible. This also helps retain more nutrients.
  20. When landscaping, plant species that are native to your region.
  21. When washing dishes by hand, don’t let the water run. Fill a basin instead.
  22. Consider buying a dual-flush toilet with two different flush levels.
  23. Try insulating hot water pipes.
  24. Install a WaterSenseⓇ showerhead.
  25. Try washing dark clothes in cold water. It also helps retain the color.
  26. Run your washer and dishwasher only when they are full.
  27. Use the garbage disposal sparingly and instead compost vegetable food waste.
  28. Wash fruits and vegetables in a pan instead of running water from the tap.
  29. Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.
  30. Instead of building a private pool, join a community pool like Eldorado Springs!
  31. Have a plumber reroute your graywater to trees and plants rather than a sewer line.
  32. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save up to 4 gallons a minute.
  33. Minimize evaporation by watering your plants in the early morning when temperatures are cooler.
  34. Reward kids for water-saving tips they follow.
  35. Designate one glass or bottle for your drinking water a day so you don’t have to keep washing them. Eldorado Natural Spring Water is the perfect, most pure choice.
  36. At home or while staying in a hotel, reuse your towels.
  37. Ask fellow employees for ideas on how to save water and reward them with prizes.
  38. When sprucing up your front or backyard, consider xeriscaping.
  39. If you accidentally drop ice cubes, don’t throw them in the sink. Drop them in a house plant.  
  40. Scrape dishes rather than rinsing them before washing.
  41. Defrost food in the refrigerator instead of using running water.
  42. Keep a close eye on your water bill to help spot leaks (and wasted money).
  43. Leave lawn clippings on your grass to cool the ground and help retain moisture.
  44. Soak pots and pans instead of running the faucet while you scrape them.
  45. Don’t water your lawn on windy days when most water will blow away or evaporate.
  46. Aerate your lawn periodically to allow water to more easily reach the roots.
  47. Learn how to use your water meter to check for leaks.
  48. Plant in the spring and fall when watering requirements are lower.
  49. Pass these ideas onto your employer or school.  
  50. Visit your local Water Conservation office’s website for more ideas.

What to do in Boulder, Colorado

As you probably already know, Eldorado Natural Spring Water’s artesian springs are nestled in the cozy mountain town of Eldorado Springs. Located just a stone’s throw away from Boulder, our tiny hometown actually has lots to do. Come on down for a weekend and enjoy a few of the following world class attractions Eldorado Springs has to offer!

Scenic Attractions. Eldorado Springs is home to the stunning Eldorado Canyon State Park. With 12 total miles of hiking and various trails to explore, you’re sure to find some breathtaking views. One of our favorite things to do is pack a picnic and enjoy a sunny day beneath a tree.


Wildlife. Because Eldorado Springs is still very much untouched by man, spotting wildlife is almost an everyday occurrence for us! Bring along the binoculars and keep an eye out for mule deer, mountain lions, foxes, black bear, golden eagles, and an array of bat species.

 

Adventure Sports. If adrenaline is your thing, Eldorado Springs is the perfect weekend getaway for you! Eldorado Canyon offers over 500 of the country’s finest rock climbing trails. With names like Cloud Nine and Nightmare Block, the routes will challenge even the most advanced climbers! If you find yourself a little wary of heights, there’s plenty of mountain biking, snowshoeing and fishing to be enjoyed too! Watching those crazy climbers is plenty of entertainment in itself as well!

 

Eldorado Swimming Pool. Our swimming pool is a little piece of history! In operation since 1905, it has been a hotspot for family getaways and even celebrities ever since opening. It is fed directly by a constant flow from the artesian spring and has such a deep blue hue, some have thought that the water is artificially colored! Come visit what the Denver Post calls one of Colorado’s best pools in and around Denver any time between Memorial weekend to Labor day, open 7 days a week, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.


Summer has finally arrived and it’s time to take advantage of Colorado’s famous sunshiney days. So pack up the family and head on over to our neck of the woods! Also, don’t forget to stop by and pick up some refreshing water or organic vitamin water. You can mix and match any of our items from 5 gallon bottles to 0.5 liter bottles. There's no need to call ahead, just drop in any time between 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday (excluding holidays). See you soon!
