DENVER — Additional water restrictions in Denver are set to begin March 25, as water managers warn this year’s snowpack is among the lowest on record.

Denver Water says businesses and homeowners will be assigned two watering days per week. Customers caught watering lawns outside of those days could face potential fines.
