Project Manager update: WEP heading to City Council

After many months of hard work and valuable input received from the community, we are ready to seek approval of the 2025 Fort Collins Utilities Water Efficiency Plan (WEP) at the Sept. 2, 2025 City Council meeting. Once the materials are posted, they will be available here.

The public comment draft was open for 60 days. We made revisions to the plan based on feedback received from community members, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, and City boards and commissions.

During public comment, we asked specific questions about the draft goals and efficiency strategies. We received eight online responses and one direct email.

As a reminder, leading up to public comment, staff spent months collecting feedback from community members. These viewpoints were critical to the development of water efficiency goals, selection of efficiency strategies, and consideration of equity in the strategy selection process. From 2023 through June 2024, we made over 5,000 touchpoints.

Thank you for your interest and participation!

Sincerely,

Project Manager Alice Conovitz
