Due to lower-than-average mountain snowpack, Broomfield is now in a Drought Watch. While sufficient water is available for all essential needs, residents are asked to voluntarily reduce water use now. Saving water today helps protect reservoirs and avoid mandatory restrictions later this summer. A typical Broomfield home uses up to 70,000 gallons of water each summer on irrigation alone, making outdoor watering one of the biggest opportunities to save water and reduce utility bills.
Persistent dry winter conditions can threaten local landscapes, causing potentially permanent damage to tree roots and the crowns of turfgrass. Residents may notice browning evergreens and brittle grass, signaling a need for increased pruning and plant replacement programs over the coming seasons. Consequently, some park fields may be closed or spring sports delayed to allow stressed turfgrass time to recover.

The City and County of Broomfield’s (CCOB) 2025 Year in Review highlights many of the community’s most significant accomplishments of the year and provides insight into how resources were strategically managed to fund programs and services that benefit residents. Throughout 2025, CCOB staff demonstrated a strong commitment to disciplined execution and financial responsibility, while maintaining a long-term focus on sustainability and resilience. Even amid increasing fiscal pressures, the organization actively sought opportunities for budget optimization and responsible revenue growth to support both current and future community needs.
“In a year marked by increasing fiscal pressure, Broomfield stayed the course,” said Mayor Guyleen Castriotta. “Our community benefited from thoughtful decision-making, responsible budgeting, and a shared commitment to building a resilient, sustainable future.”
In recognition of this work, the City and County of Broomfield was named the National Champion in the Economy category of Polco’s 2025 Best in Governance Community Impact Awards. This distinction highlights communities that are effectively fostering strong, inclusive, and resilient economies through strategic leadership and intentional investments in areas such as affordability, business climate, fairness, and workforce readiness.
As the National Champion—and the only Colorado community to receive this award—Broomfield is not only performing well, but also helping redefine how local government operates. By blending resident voice, trusted data, and actionable insights, CCOB is advancing a model of governance that is smarter, more connected, and more responsive to community needs. This recognition reflects years of focused, cross-departmental collaboration involving teams such as Planning, Development, Housing, Economics, Finance, Capital Improvement Planning, and Workforce Development, among others.
“2025 was a year defined by disciplined execution and long-term thinking,” said City and County Manager Jennifer Hoffman. “Our teams delivered critical infrastructure, strengthened public safety and community services, and managed resources responsibly—while positioning Broomfield for continued resilience and success in the years ahead, as reflected by this national recognition for economic performance.”
The City and County of Broomfield remains committed to fostering a thriving community that balances fiscal responsibility with the delivery of essential services and thoughtful development, while adhering to sustainable practices—even during a time of mounting fiscal pressure statewide. The 2025 Year in Review underscores the meaningful steps taken to build a future-ready Broomfield, ensuring both immediate and long-term benefits for residents, businesses, and the broader community.

The Windy Gap Firming Project (WGFP) is a key element in Broomfield’s potable water development strategy.
The WGFP includes construction of Chimney Hollow, a 90,000 acre-foot reservoir near Carter Lake in Larimer County. An acre foot serves approximately two single-family household equivalents. The reservoir will store water for multiple agencies, with about 30% of the volume being allotted for Broomfield’s use. The new reservoir will be adjacent to Carter Lake Reservoir as shown in the map. The proximity of Chimney Hollow to Carter Lake Reservoir and the Southern Water Supply Pipeline will allow the new reservoir to be easily integrated into existing infrastructure. The WGFP participants include Broomfield, Erie, Greeley, Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, Loveland, Superior, Fort Lupton, Central Weld County Water District, Platte River Power Authority, Little Thompson Water District, Estes Park, and Evans.
