Denver Water, the common company handling Denver’s water position, is drawing focus for parodying the Backstreet Boys.
The production of the” I Want It That Way” movie serves as a reminder that Denver people will soon be subject to new water laws starting on May 1.
According to The Denver Post,” Recommendations include refraining from watering meadows between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., watering just two times a week (adding a second time when needed ), and ensuring that cool-season plants remain at least 2.5 cm long.”
The pastiche is jam-packed with” choreographed dancing sequences, popped collars, and visual shots of sprinkles,” just like the classic Backstreet Boys movie.

” Tell me why”? some of the phrases read. ” Do n’t water more than three days in a week. Do n’t water from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. Somebody tell the HOA ( forgot the HOA… ) I water that way”.
Featured in the movie are apparently Denver Water people, including , Emily Harclerode, Steve Snyder, Micky Boehm, Jimmy Luthye, and Nathan Hayes.
The actual Blue Males for their portion appear to actually enjoy the movie.
” You men NAILED this”, they reportedly wrote on Instagram this Wednesday.
The messages from the general public have been dissimilar. On YouTube, some appear to like the movie.
” As a fellow power individual ( I work at a gentle business ) I LOVE this”, one leading- voted post reads. ” ]P ] utting a fun spin on an important message. But inventive, and I believe there will be supporters for sure! Awesome work, not laughed so hard at a water limitations message”!
” Actually thought this was going to be weak BUT, well, this completely, unironically slaps. The victim’s facial hair is the peach on top”, another post reads.
On the social media platform X however, people have been a bit more important:

Denver Water may ask you to use less water. Therefore Denver Water may increase your water usage fees.

Take a look at Denver’s ocean use. Because the water brain is broken, spicklers on highway medians are shooting into the air at 4 am while filling the gutter with fresh water. They are ashamed of you and impose taxation on you for using any fluids.

Following a extreme drought, the new regulations were implemented as part of a water protection plan.
Other cities in Colorado are dealing with this problem.
According to local train KDVR, Aurora is also prohibiting citizens from watering their gardens more than three nights per week. ” Like Denver, washing is not permitted between 10 a. m. and 6 p. m., and hand washing of turf gardens follows the same rules as an involuntary water in Aurora”.
From May 1 through the end of September, Colorado and Aurora are subject to water protection laws, according to KDVR.
However, theirs are not the most stringent liquid conservation laws in the nation. That pride is left to California.
” California’s congressional advisors today lambasted the state’s optimistic proposal to control industrial water conservation, calling the measures costly and difficult to accomplish,’ in many cases without powerful justifications,'” CalMatters reported in January.
” The proposed rules, unveiled in August, call for more than 400 cities and other water vendors serving about 95 % of Californians to meet conservation goals beginning in 2025″, the reporting continued.
California finally made the decision to alleviate some of the restrictions only last month after receiving overwhelming opposition.
The state water board’s staff revised its rules, suggesting less stringent ones for water-saving standards, reducing the number of providers needed to achieve significant decreases of more than 20 %, and extending the water reduction timeline by five more years to 2040, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The proposed restrictions, titled” Making Conservation a California Way of Life,” would use to about 400 urban water suppliers, requiring them to embrace water-use budgets and adhere to locally specific conservation goals, if approved by the state committee later this year. According to the Times ‘ reporting, the most recent changes would allow many water agencies to make less drastic mandatory reductions than they had anticipated and give them more time to take steps to reduce water usage.
