Our region's precious snowpack ended January at near-record lows, according to Denver Water's online TAP newsletter.
Nathan Elder, the public utility's manager of water resources, said: “We’re basically short by about 4-5 feet of snow.”
“The later into the winter season we go without big, regular snowstorms, the more concerning the situation becomes for our water supply heading into the summer,” Elder said.
“We still have three good months ahead of us to get some significant snow, and March and April are usually when we get our best snow, but the chances of fully catching up to ‘normal’ snowpack this year are dwindling,” he said.
