By participating in the 2025 Water Conservation Symposium in Westminster, WestWater gained firsthand insight into how communities across Colorado are rethinking conservation to do more with less. The event highlighted innovative approaches from Denver Water, Colorado Springs Utility, and the City of Loveland—ranging from DIY landscape transformation guides to system-wide water loss audits—all underscoring the untapped potential of demand management.
At WestWater, we’re best known for helping clients acquire and value water supplies, but conservation is just as vital to maximizing long-term security. New infrastructure development will always play a role in water supply, yet conservation can deliver cost-effective results, reduce environmental impacts, and help communities invest only where truly necessary.
We also recognize conservation isn’t free. Measures like conservation-oriented rate structures or tap fees must balance water savings with revenue stability. That’s why WestWater partners with municipalities to evaluate the economics of conservation, prepare efficiency plans, and design pricing tools that encourage sustainable growth without jeopardizing financial health.
Our takeaway from the Symposium: conservation isn’t just about using less—it’s about creating smarter, more resilient communities. And we’re ready to help our municipal partners get there.
