Because Roxborough Water & Sanitation District purchases their water supply from the City of Aurora, our customers will be experiencing similar water restrictions as the City of Aurora's customers. (see water rate schedule)

Roxborough Water & Sanitation District receives their water from Aurora, via the South Platte River Systems with diversion at Strontia Springs. As is the case with Roxborough and most other cities in Colorado our water comes from melted mountain snow and this most current drought have depleted many of our high elevation reservoirs. Our reservoirs are experiencing more demand than renewable supply because of this lack of snowfall. Not only do we need to think about the current water shortage but also we have to consider the water needs of the future that relies on an uncertain renewable source.

The Roxborough community has numerous new homes, which of course, means new lawns. These new lawns do require more immediate attention and we certainly understand that and want to work with our customers to protect their investment. If you have a new lawn we will require the homeowner to apply for an exemption. Please contact the District office for details.

Those of you with new homes that haven't put in your lawn would be advised to wait until early spring or fall to do so. Lawns that are installed in early Spring or Fall have the best chance of survival because you are not dealing with the summer heat.
