Submit Your Denver Water Plan with Peace of Mind
Reasons Property Owners Need to Submit a Water Plan in Denver:
You Need to Add a Tap
Are you looking to add a bathroom or a second sink to your space? If you want to add a tap, you’ll need to submit a water plan to the county before scheduling any construction.
You Want to Install a Fireline
Does your property need safeguarding from the surrounding landscape? A fireline designed by civil engineers creates a safe buffer zone between you and any wildfire risk. This barren strip of land cuts potential fires off from fuel, isolating them without the vegetation to blaze on. All new firelines need an approved water plan to begin development.
You Need to Add a Water Main Extension
Do you need to bring water onto your property? You’ll need to submit a water plan and request the utility installation from the closest main water line. This usually pertains to developing new areas and supplying water to unserved locales. This requires a water plan.
You Need to Add a New Fire Hydrant
How do you install a new fire hydrant on your property? You start with a water plan and design, calculated by a civil engineer. They will determine the placement and rate of water flow from the hydrant and emphasize community safety. The plan takes into account accessibility, nearby buildings, area occupancy, and the placement of other hydrants.
What is the Denver Water Plan?
In 2023, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) released The Denver Water Plan, offering new guidelines on how residents, towns, business owners, and builders can update their properties. With the long-term health of Colorado’s waterways in mind, this plan focuses on refining water pathways across the state and aims to lead in water system improvements nationwide.
The CWCB built this incentive around four main focuses: maintaining vibrant communities, bolstering robust agriculture, nurturing watersheds to thrive, and planning resiliently to navigate climate change.
Why Does This Matter?
- It aims to conserve the water supply in an area that is prone to wildfires.
- It protects accessibility to clean drinking water.
- And it helps to maintain a healthy watershed system.
Funding and support are available to the community as incentives.

The Brightlighter Denver Water Plan Process
Site Evaluation & Data Collection
The process begins with a detailed assessment of the property, including topography, soil conditions, existing drainage patterns, and regulatory requirements.
This step may involve site visits, surveys, and consultations with local authorities to ensure compliance with zoning and environmental regulations.
Water Plan Design & Engineering
Using the collected data, engineers develop a comprehensive water plan tailored to the property’s needs. This may include stormwater management, grading, erosion control, and drainage solutions.
The plan is designed to meet Denver and Colorado regulations while optimizing functionality and sustainability.
Submission & Approval Process
Once the water plan is finalized, it is submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies for review and approval. Engineers coordinate with authorities, address any feedback, and ensure that the plan meets all legal and environmental requirements.
After approval, property owners can proceed with implementation.
