Denver Water posted a Backstreet Boys parody bursting with summer watering tips on Monday.
The video, titled “Splashstreet Boys — I water that way,” is a twist on the iconic Backstreet Boys song “I want it that way,” featuring choregraphed dance sequences, popped collars and cinematic shots of sprinkles. A running toilet, portrayed by Denver Water Change Manager Patrick McCoy, also makes a few star appearances.
The lyrics include lines like “Tell me why? Don’t water more than three days in a week. Don’t water from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Somebody tell the HOA (forgot the HOA…) I water that way,” highlighting important drought-conscious water practices that should be adhered to during the summer months.

The video is a catchy reminder of the summer Denver water regulations that are in effect from May 1 to Oct. 1. These rules help Denverites maintain healthy landscapes while using outdoor water efficiently. Guidelines include refraining from watering lawns between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., watering only two days a week (adding a third day when needed) and ensuring that cool-season grasses remain at least 2.5 inches long, while warm-season grasses should be kept between 1 to 3 inches.
The video showcases multiple Denver Water communications and media relations employees including Jill Harclerode, Steve Snyder, Micky Boehm, Jimmy Luthye and Nathan Hayes.
