Cooking at
high altitudeis different and can be difficult. At sea
level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but as air pressure
drops, water boils at lower temperatures. In metro Denver, water boils
at 202 degrees. This means that food cooks at lower temperatures and
the cooking times will be longer. Lower air pressure also causes baked
goods to rise faster; therefore, less leavening is needed. Water
evaporates much more quickly at high altitude than
at sea level.

Water, Sewer and Sanitation Services
Most of south metro Denver's water is supplied from a network of
underground aquifers instead of from mountain
snowmelt. The Denver Water Board and other water districts draw water
from many reservoirs in the Rocky mountains. These reservoirs are
supplied by run-off from snowmelt. Nearly 50 percent of Denver Water
customers live in the surrounding suburbs. For information on billing and service in your area, visit Denver Water online at www.DenverWater.org or
