City of Aspen launches Commercial Water Efficiency Challenge
Aspen, CO — The city of Aspen, with support from the Colorado Water Conservation Board, announces the launch of the Commercial Water Efficiency Challenge, Rebate, and Awards Program. It’s a yearlong initiative designed to help local businesses reduce indoor water use, save money, and build long-term sustainable practices.
The program encourages commercial accounts served by the city’s utility to engage in water-saving activities while offering participants the opportunity to replace inefficient water-using appliances with more efficient models. Businesses can receive a rebate of up to $7,500 for qualifying appliance replacements.
“Water conservation is a community effort, and this challenge allows Aspen’s business community to take an active role in protecting one of our most vital resources,” said Megan Killer, the city’s plans review technician.
The challenge will run for one year, beginning Sept. 15, providing businesses with ample time to participate. Once signed up, each participating business will receive resources from the city, including a point guide outlining water-saving actions and one-on-one assistance. While businesses can view their progress, official point tracking will be managed by the city. Participants will be celebrated for their conservation leadership in an awards and recognition ceremony to conclude the challenge.
The Commercial Water Efficiency Challenge focuses on helping businesses make tangible, hands-on changes to reduce indoor water use and create lasting conservation habits.
