How Much Water Do We Use?

The average Alamosa resident uses 111 Gallons Per Day (GPD) of water. 

Conserving water can be as easy as turning the water off while brushing your teeth, or using an automatic shut off on your hose outside.

Water conservation is extremely important across Colorado, but the San Luis Valley is “high alpine desert” and is in a constant state of water shortage. Historically, water supply in the Valley is severely over-appropriated. The City of Alamosa has demonstrated a long-term commitment to water-wise stewardship through responsible and efficient use of our water resources. 

The City of Alamosa is dedicated to conserving our water
to preserve our quality of life.
