In a significant move against climate change, Denver Water has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. This initiative follows the approval of a climate-related resolution by the Denver Water Board of Commissioners. As 2024 experienced record high temperatures, the urgency for such measures has intensified. The utility plans to electrify its facilities and vehicles while exploring carbon removal technologies. Denver Water also aims to meet an interim goal of reducing carbon emissions by 50% from 2015 levels by 2025. However, customers will see a rate increase of $2 to $3 per month starting January to support these sustainability projects amid rising operational costs.
