The Colorado Water Loss Initiative (CWLI) has a new home on the CWCB website, creating a centralized hub for water loss auditing, training, and technical assistance. The site brings together updated guidance, Colorado case studies, auditing tools, a training calendar for upcoming 2025–2026 cohorts, and direct access to the Colorado Water Loss data portal. By integrating CWLI resources into the CWCB platform, Colorado is strengthening long-term water efficiency efforts and supporting utilities in reducing water loss—the most cost-effective “new” source of water.
