1.
What are the city's sewer tap fees and how are they determined?
A sewer tap fee is charged for the inspection, testing, and administrative costs associated with a connection to the city's sanitary sewer system. In addition, a capacity fee is charged to recover the cost of the connection's proportionate share of the infrastructure capacity, and to fund capital improvements related to growth. Sewer tap and capacity fees are specified in Section 3-5-12(G) of the City of Montrose
Municipal Code.
2.
Who do I call if I have a sewer back-up?
In the event of a sewer back up into a home or business, customers are encouraged to contact the City of Montrose immediately.

If you contact a professional prior to our call, and it is determined that the problem is in the City’s line, the City will not reimburse your charges. Please call 240-1480 or 240-1400 during normal business hours, Monday through Thursday, 7:00 am - 6:00 pm or 970-252-4010 after business hours, or on weekends or holidays.
