Burland neighbor wasting water, how to report?

Neighbors have a household use only well. They have two outdoor faucets which they shouldn't have and every day they are watering their deck, patio, grass and filling a wading pool. Now they bought a large above ground pool. Their waste is atrocious and all the wells around them suffer.

Who do you contact to report this waste especially when they aren't supposed to be doing any of it in the first place?

It should be reported to whatever entity holds your water shares. In Trails West it's Mountain Mutual Reservoir. Not sure of other areas of Burland.

Under Mountain Mutual we're allowed to have outdoor faucets and allowed to water 500 (I think) square feet of garden, flower or vegetable. Other water companies may have different regulations. I can't imagine any of them allowing an above ground pool.

Do you have an HOA? Call them. Also, consider talking to the neighbors - they may be totally clueless.

Your best bet is to call Denver Water.

bad answer

Mntntrekker I wouldn't waste my breath on the HOA especially in Burland. What I would do is find out how the LUR's read or call Tom Eisenman and find out from him which way to take it....and then go from there. GOOD LUCK!!

why shouldn't a homeowner have 2 outdoor faucets?

You have a valid concern. But, how do you know their well is for household use only?

We have one outdoor spigot. I water only potted plants, a small (4 x 12) garden and bird baths. We did pressure wash our deck last year.

Because if you have a household use only well, it means no outside water use. And since you are not supposed to use water outside, you don't need an outside spigot.

Some household items can not be cleaned indoors?
