Good morning, Castle Rock.

Castle Rock’s Fall Festival will be held on October 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Festival Park downtown—offering pumpkin decorating, fall crafts, a Halloween-themed animal booth, and local food and drink vendors.

Castle Rock water officials say installing a WaterSense® showerhead—a DIY project that takes just 3 minutes—can save each home about 5,400 gallons of water yearly; they claim that if every resident saves one gallon daily, the community will save 31 million gallons in total.

This effort aims to reduce the 17% of indoor water use attributed to showering.
