mile high aeration complaints – what is up with water restrictions!

Despite recent snowfall in the sprint in certain parts of Colorado, most of the State is  experiencing another year of a severe drought that started off this spring in a stage 2 drought condition.  Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3- when will it ever end?  The drought has led to lower snowpacking, above-normal temps and lower reservoir levels.  As a result, the Denver Board of Water Commissioners declared a Stage 2 drought earlier this year, which meant customers will have two assigned watering days effective April 1.  This was recently lifted to a stage one, which allows 3 watering days per week.  The recent restrictions prompted several complaints amongst residents who are wondering what the purpose of our reservoirs serve and where our water actually goes.  Additionally, residents are furious over the laws that require them to let their grass simply die because of the denial faced by watering laws.  This is why aeration is so important becaues any water that your lawn does see will go directly into the root system.
