Colorado’s cities, counties could be required to limit turf by 2028
Local governments across Colorado would be required by 2028 to enact or update ordinances limiting the amount and type of grass that could be planted around new or redeveloped residential property under a bill before the state legislature this year. … The measure is the legislature’s latest effort to promote water conservation in Colorado as climate change collides with population growth. But the legislation is likely to face skepticism, if not opposition, from developers and local governments who are leery about mandates. That makes the bill emblematic of the complicated push across the West to tackle drought and water scarcity.
