About Us

In 2014, Denver Water, the Suburban Distributors of Denver Water, and the One World One Water Center at Metro State University of Denver came together to host the first Denver Metro Water Festival. The water festival is designed to provide balanced water-related education to sixth graders in Denver Water’s extended service area (link to service area map). The festival presents a unique opportunity for water professionals from around Colorado to offer engaging, hands-on lessons and activities to:
  • help students appreciate the value of water,
  • provide the tools students need to treat water as a precious resource, and
  • take an active role in water conservation.
