CU Boulder aligns with city drought guidance, emphasizes water stewardship across campus The city of Boulder has entered a drought watch and is asking the community to take voluntary steps to reduce water use. As record hot and dry weather persists across the Front Range, CU Boulder supports these efforts to help preserve water this spring. The campus is working diligently to conserve water where possible while also maintaining green spaces that provide important health, recreation and community benefits.
