Get ready for some crappy tasting Water Boulder
Apr 29th
Residents may notice a change in taste of water starting Monday, May 2
City of Boulder water customers in Gunbarrel, Heatherwood, Hoover Hills and areas north of Arapahoe Avenue and east of Foothills Parkway may notice a slight change in water taste on Monday, May 2, when the Utilities Division switches water sources from Boulder reservoir to the Boulder Feeder Canal.
Water source changes are a normal part of water treatment and distribution operations. No service interruptions are expected while the water source change occurs.
The possible taste change is due to differences in source water chemistry between Boulder Reservoir and the Boulder Feeder Canal.

“Take out the Trash and don’t talk back!” Boulder!
Apr 13th
According to Boulder Revised Code (BRC) 1981 Section 6-3-9, property owners and managers of rental properties in the University Hill and Goss/Grove neighborhoods are required to contract with trash haulers for pick-up service for the following dates in 2011:
- Spring: Wednesday, May 4, through Monday, May 9; and
- Fall: Saturday, July 30, through Monday, Aug. 29.
The University Hill neighborhood boundaries are from Arapahoe Avenue to Baseline Road and from Broadway Street to Ninth Street, and the Goss/Grove neighborhood boundaries are from Canyon Boulevard to Arapahoe Avenue and from Folsom Street to 15th Street.
The Special Trash Service code requires that properties in these neighborhoods sign up for the program. The City of Boulder’s Environmental and Zoning Enforcement Office (EZEO) will issue a summons to property owners and managers of rental properties in these two neighborhoods if they are not signed up for the program, regardless of the extent of trash violations on their property. The fine for a violation of this section of the code is $250 for a first offense.
The Special Trash Service code requirement was implemented in 2003 as a result of a community group recommendation. During tenant move-in and move-out periods, which occur at the beginning and end of the University of Colorado’s academic year, the Goss/Grove and University Hill neighborhoods experience significant trash impacts. This program was initially developed as a pilot program in 2002. Its success resulted in the development of the specific code requirement.
