Ski season is ending prematurely, spring flowers are popping up early, and well, it’s been hot! After our unseasonably warm and dry winter, Denver Water’s Board of Commissioners yesterday enacted Stage 1 drought restrictions. So what will that mean for Denverites? Contributor Joshua Emerson joins producer Olivia Jewell Love and host Bree Davies to confess their toxic water traits and talk about the regional context of drought conditions. Plus, they get into the debate over a new lot-splitting bill at the state legislature and pitch their ideas for Denver Summit FC’s mascot.

Bree mentioned this, but you can sign up now for City Cast Denver’s new weekly shopping guide newsletter Keep It Local! You can also email us at denver@citycast.fm if you have a local business you think we should feature.
