Fort Collins hopes to win water conservation challenge

• Last year, Fort Collins placed second in the country among similar-sized cities.

Fort Collins officials hope residents will help the city win the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation.

The challenge is a friendly competition among cities across the country to see which can be the most “water-wise.” Fort Collins placed second last year among similar-sized cities.

Residents may participate at www.mywaterpledge.com. The deadline is Wednesday.

Residents from winning cities could win prizes including a Toyota Prius Plug-In, water-saving fixtures and gift certificates.
