đź’§One of the great things about our new Waterscope program is the Leak Alert, which goes directly to the account holder first thing in the morning.
We don't get the alert until the next day. So, if you have a 2-gallon per minute leak that amounts to 2,880 gallons per day. If the leak happens on a weekend that would be 8,640 gallons by the time the City would contact you.
đźšżWe've already heard of some great stories where leaks have been detected saving citizens money!

đź’µWhen you shop locally in Rocky Ford:
68% of every dollar stays in the community. This boosts local businesses, creates jobs, and strengthens public services.
The entire region benefits. Supporting local businesses sustains jobs and drives growth across Southeast Colorado.
Shopping online? Start with local businesses. Many offer online options. Can’t find what you need locally? Ordering it online keeps sales tax dollars in the community.
Every purchase helps build a stronger and more vibrant Rocky Ford.

❄️Be Prepared for Snow Days!
Winter is here! Keep our streets safe by following these tips:
Clear sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall.
Park off-street to help snowplows.
Use sand or salt to prevent icy patches.
The City of Rocky Ford has an official “SNOW & ICE CONTROL PLAN” which details how Rocky Ford Public Works Department will prioritize snow removal around the city, and which equipment the City has available to respond to snow.
