丹佛水务强制洒水禁令10月1日生效
【丹佛讯】10月1日起，丹佛水务（Denver Water）的强制性草坪洒水禁令正式生效，标志着夏季用水限制季的结束与冬季节水规定的开始。据 the-sun.com 报道，禁令期间居民不得使用自动洒水系统浇灌草坪。
丹佛水务表示，每年 10 月至次年 4 月为非灌溉季，草坪进入休眠无需浇水，违规洒水可能面临罚款。水务部门同时提醒，室内节水同样重要，并提供免费节水器具。
科罗拉多州近年持续干旱，水务部门称季节性禁令是保障来年供水的常规措施。

Denver Water's Mandatory Sprinkler Ban Takes Effect October 1
[DENVER] Denver Water's mandatory lawn-sprinkler ban took effect October 1, closing the summer watering season and opening winter conservation rules, the-sun.com reported. During the ban, residents may not run automatic sprinkler systems on lawns.
Denver Water said October through April is the non-irrigation season, when dormant lawns need no watering; violations can draw fines. The utility also reminded customers that indoor conservation matters and offers free water-saving devices.
With Colorado facing persistent drought in recent years, the utility called the seasonal ban a routine measure to protect next year's supply.
