Timnath Invites Residents to Explore Water‑Wise Living With the “Spring Water Series”

April 8, 2026

This spring, The Town of Timnath is launching an opportunity to explore water-wise living through its “Spring Water Series”, a new speaker series connecting the community with regional experts on practical ways to save water indoors and out.

Although the Town does not operate a water utility, the series highlights Timnath’s role in partnering with local and regional agencies to support smart water use and long-term resiliency.

Sessions are designed for residents, homeowners associations and metro districts, offering clear, actionable guidance on irrigation, landscaping and Colorado’s water-wise landscaping laws that they can apply in their own homes and common areas.

Topics will include efficient outdoor irrigation practices, homeowner landscaping rights, water‑wise landscape conversions and simple indoor upgrades and habits that support responsible water use. Each session will include time for questions, giving attendees an opportunity to ask about their own yards and homes.

All sessions will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Timnath Town Center, 4750 Signal Tree Dr.
