Water Conservation Education

Education is an essential element of every water conservation program. Greeley is steadfast in the belief that face-to-face contact is the most effective means of sharing its educational program which is why our staff strives to meet with as many citizens as possible in the community.

• We provide speakers for classrooms, civic clubs and other groups by request. These presentations can be tailored to a specific time, age group, state standard, interest or concern. Please contact 970-350-9874 or conserve@greeleygov.com with your request.
  

• Caring For Our Watersheds™, an educational program sponsored by the Poudre Learning Center, weaves together the combined strengths of industry, environmental organizations and communities to engage high school students in preserving and improving their local watersheds. The City of Greeley supports the Colorado Contest, open to students who live in the Colorado borders within the Cache la Poudre River Watershed and Big Thompson Watershed. We provide information and resources to help students implement their projects.
  
  
• Tours of some of our water and sewer facilities can be scheduled for groups of 10 or larger. Facilities include the Wastewater Treatment Plant, Demonstration Garden, and Treated Water Reservoir. Some of Greeley's facilities are out of town, including Bellvue Water Treatment Plant and Boyd Lake Water Treatment Plant in Loveland. In addition, the Greeley History Museum has a permanent exhibit on Greeley's water history. Please 970-350-9874 or water@greeleygov.com for more information.
