Watering Restrictions
Thank you for your help! Outdoor watering restrictions have been lifted
Due to unprecedented irrigation demand in the Timnath area, earlier this summer we asked ALL Fort Collins-Loveland Water District customers in Timnath for immediate assistance to reduce outdoor water use by 25 percent. Thank you for taking action and reducing your water demand. Effective Sept. 1, 2024, the outdoor watering restrictions in Timnath have been lifted.
If you’ve been waiting to plant sod or finish landscaping projects, now is a great time to resume those. Thank you again for your cooperation, help and patience this summer.
In addition to your efforts, the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District is pleased to share we have been actively working with the Timnath Lakes Development to complete a 24” pipe extension that will improve our ability to fill the Timnath water tank. The District will then extend the 24” pipe to replace a bottleneck further improving our ability to serve our Timnath customers. In addition, we have made a variety of system adjustments to ensure we are operating as efficiently as possible to maintain system pressure.
We appreciate all of the help – large and small – from our customers and partners in the Timnath area. All of these efforts have truly made a difference.

FAQ's
A: We recommend only using the water needed while waiting for the sod to establish and making sure you are using your water efficiently by avoiding overwatering. When your sod has rooted, typically after two weeks, please reduce your watering schedule to normal levels (up to three times per week) based on the following schedule:
- If your address ends in an even number, limit watering to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (midnight to midnight).
- If your address ends in an odd number, limit watering to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (midnight to midnight).
- Avoid watering on Sunday to allow our system to catch up for the next week.
