COVER PHOTO: Great Western Reservoir is an important part of Broomfield's non-potable water supply system. The reservoir, fed by Clear Creek, Coal Creek, and tertiary treated wastewater, serves as storage for irrigation. The reuse system allows Broomfield to expand its water supplies beyond a single, one-time use and reduces the amount of treated domestic drinking water that would otherwise be needed for these irrigation purposes. For more information, visit Broomfield.org/WaterResources.

LEARN-TO-SWIM PROGRAM
Your child will learn the fundamentals of swimming as well as self-confidence in a safe, fun environment in Broomfield's American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim program. Learn personal development, water safety, and a lifetime skill that can enhance your child’s life. For additional information or if you are not sure what level to sign your child up for, contact aquatics@broomfield.org. HOW MANY CLASSES SHOULD I SIGN UP FOR? When registering for consecutive sessions of the American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim program, it is recommended that you sign up for the same class level at least two times. Due to the high demand for swim lessons, space cannot be guaranteed for your child to move up or down after your initial registration. You are encouraged to talk to the instructor about your child’s progress and utilize the waitlist process whenever possible if classes are full. Classes may be increased due to demand and instructor/ space availability. Age

USE IT
As of Sept. 14, 2021, Broomfield residents can use graywater treatment systems for new or existing single-family, multi-family, and commercial buildings! • Reuse graywater for outdoor irrigation and indoor toilet and urinal flushing. • A laundry to landscape graywater system is a relatively simple system which uses graywater from your laundry machine to irrigate plants or a mulch basin. • Retrofit your plumbing to install a whole house graywater system which diverts graywater to your home’s bathroom fixtures and saves water on flushing.
