Tenants
To change a utility account into your name, complete the Tenant Account Activation Form and bring it to the Utility Billing Office, located on the first floor in City Hall, along with the correct deposit amount.

Property Maintenance
According to city ordinance, it is the current owner's obligation to ensure all water devices on the property are in proper working order, prior to assigning that responsibility to another entity. A water meter inspection may be required based on account rates or usage. If you have installed a new water meter or do not think that your meter is working properly, schedule an inspection. Water meter inspections should be scheduled with the Utilities Program Manager,
Keith Wester at 970-429-1995.
An inspection is done at no cost to the customer to insure the installation and equipment meets city ordinances. One of our meter technicians inspects the meter, located inside your property, as well as your remote, located on the exterior of your property. If you would like a copy of the ordinances, click
