Your Home. Your Voice. Your Greeley.
• Accessible, affordable housing is a high priority for the City of Greeley. Everyone should have options for healthy, independent living. But housing experiences and needs vary greatly. So, community input is critical to create the right policies, programs, and support.
At Home in Greeley is an important, ongoing community needs assessment. Last month, residents shared thoughts during several open houses. The events provided useful insight into housing challenges and wants. We encourage the community to share their thoughts via an online survey through September 30.

 Ditch System Shutting Down a Little Earlier This Year
This season, the ditch system that delivers non-potable water to many city parks and golf courses is shutting down about three weeks earlier than normal. This means that those landscapes must transition to treated/potable water which increases demand and puts a strain on the treated water system.
Residents may notice drier turf, slower growth, and changes to maintenance schedules on lower priority landscapes. High-priority areas such as athletic fields and golf course playing areas will continue to remain healthy and green. The city will monitor conditions and adjust operations as needed.
Greeley has sufficient water supplies for residents to continue watering their own yards and landscapes.
Schedule a Water Efficiency Assessment This Fall
As summer temps begin to fall and your irrigation needs decrease, it's a great time to give your system some extra attention. A free outdoor water efficiency assessment can identify simple ways to become more efficient and prepare for next season.
You’ll receive a customized report with recommendations specific to your property. Eligible upgrades -- including smart controllers, weather or soil sensors, rotary nozzles, and pressure-reducing sprinkler heads may qualify for rebates of up to 50%.
