The Utility Billing Hotline, 970-240-1401, can also be used to obtain information about city utilities and sanitation services.

3. Why is my city utility bill unusually high?

A common reason for unusually high utility bill charges is increased water usage due to water leaks, malfunctioning toilets, or summertime landscape irrigation. The city reviews water usage to determine if it is higher than normal. If it is, we have our servicemen check for a leak. If you feel that there is an error on your bill, please call (970) 240-1400 to speak with a customer service representative.
