Denver One Water Plan
The City and County of Denver, Denver Water, Mile High Flood District, Metro Wastewater Reclamation District, The Greenway Foundation and the Colorado Water Conservation Board have come together to create Denver’s first One Water Plan. These agencies are working together to promote healthy watersheds in an equitable, economically and environmentally beneficial manner. While each agency will continue to complete its core responsibilities, a deeper level of integration in water management will benefit the community and the environment alike.
Water is historically managed in silos. One agency provides drinking water, another manages stormwater, another treats wastewater and so on. The reality is it is all connected – it is all One Water.
By taking a holistic and collaborative approach, we can manage this precious resource in a more integrated, sustainable, and inclusive way.
