East Boulder County Water District is Currently in Stage 1 Drought Response
Effective April 10, 2026
Stage 1 targets a total demand reduction of up to 10%, with an outdoor watering reduction of up to 17%, to help ensure that our water supply remains sufficient for the community’s needs. While Stage 1 includes watering restrictions,
Stage 1 Water Restrictions
Residents should keep irrigation systems off until May. Drought stages depend on both water supply and community use. Using less water now may help us prevent additional restrictions. After May, twice is nice.
NO water waste – prevent overrun of water on any area not covered in vegetation, such as sidewalks, curbs, driveways, streets, and other paved areas.
NO watering of outdoor landscaping between 10am and 6pm
NO washing of paved areas, such as driveways, with a hose or power washer is permitted.

Who We Are
Welcome to the website of the East Boulder County Water District. It is the major source for all information concerning the District and its operation.
The District was formed by election of the residents of Apollo Estates, Benchmark Estates, Panorama Park and Paragon Estates on November 2, 1999. The District has been assigned Public Water System ID #CO0107236. The election established the initial Service Area and which properties received water.
Water System Description
The District's water system is composed of a number of components:
large mains carrying water from the City of Lafayette's system and throughout the District
a master meter to measure the water delivered to the District
a 100,000 gallon water storage tank to provide for fire-fighting and other temporary demands for significant quantities of water
both quick-response and higher-volume pumps to provide water to the distribution system
emergency generator to support all power requirements in event of an Xcel power interruption
The system operators monitor the system for correct operation and on a scheduled basis collect water for testing at an authorized test laboratory and exercise the buried valves and fire hydrants.
