The Town supports two water efficiency programs:
1. WaterSmart:
- Free for anyone with a water bill
- View your usage, learn how to find and fix leaks, and sign up for leak alerts
- Irrigation assessments for anyone with an irrigation system (residential, commercial, HOA)
- Offers on the spot quick fixes, irrigation inspections, and efficiency recommendations
- Rebates available
Breckenridge Water Efficiency Plan 2018 The Water Conservation Act of 2004 (HB04-1365) requires all covered entities, defined as retail water providers that sell more than 2,000 ac-ft/yr, to have a State-approved water efficiency plan. Although the Town of Breckenridge has remained below that threshold in recent years, the Town, along with neighboring water providers, looks to set an example for other mountain communities in preserving the natural environment and promoting conservation values. This water efficiency plan serves to describe the Town’s history of water saving activities and future plans. The Town also seeks to leverage regional partnerships to effect change and encourage all residents and visitors to reduce water use.
