From 7 News (Deb Stanley) via The Denver Post:

Aurora Water is joining Denver Water in loosening its watering restrictions. In April, Aurora city officials adopted a two-day a week watering schedule, because its reservoirs were at 46 percent of capacity. Thanks to heavy spring snow and a system to recapture water in the South Platte River, the reservoirs are now at 67 percent of capacity, officials said. Residents can now pick which three days they water, but watering is still banned between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
