Roxborough Water and Sanitation District has replaced turf at its treatment plant with a lower-water landscape, according to its public project explanation. The district presents the work as an example for residents considering changes to their own yards.
The approach combines plants suited to Colorado with changes in how landscaped areas are irrigated. General Manager Mike Marcum’s account emphasizes planning around sunlight, soil and how a space is used, rather than removing every lawn area at once.
The district also points residents toward Resource Central’s lawn-replacement and garden programs. Its discussion includes estimated savings, but the page does not report a measured annual water reduction for the plant project. This explanation was checked Nov. 10; no publication date is supplied on the project page.
