Why it matters

The town has restricted outdoor watering to two days per week and requires restaurants to serve water only upon request.

Common ground

Town Manager Tom Fisher said the North Ten Mile Creek Watershed — Frisco's primary water source, despite its proximity to Dillon Reservoir — is running 37% lower than in the past.
