In her July 2009 newsletter, Denver District 5 Councilwoman Marcia Johnson announced that several parks in the district will be using recycled water for irrigation.
Denver will be installing new pipes for the system, and some traffic may be diverted while this work occurs. Impacted District 5 parks include McNichols Park, Crescent Park, Verbena Park and Denison Park.
The four parks will join 13 Denver parks that are already using recycled water.
Other parks are undergoing irrigation improvement programs. It is estimated that the improvments will save 450 million gallons of Denver drinking water.
