Connect, Change or Disconnect Service
If you are a residential customer, the City of Longmont Utility Billing Division has made connecting, disconnecting and transferring your service simple. In order to read the electrical and/or water meters and determine final charges for the previous customer, Utility Billing requires at least 2 business days notice over the phone to change the service. If you prefer to use our online service, please allow 3 business days to complete your order.
If you are connecting to the City’s NextLight™ internet service, or would like more information about subscribing, please call (303) 774-4494 from 8 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday.
Connecting Your Service
If you are a residential customer and you own or are purchasing your home, you can connect by phone or online.

To connect by phone, simply call Utility Billing at 303-651-8664 between 8 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday.

No deposit is required. Just remember to allow 2 business days when you make a request by phone or 3 business days when you make a request online.
If you are a residential customer and do not own or are not purchasing your home, you must pay a $100 electric deposit and provide personal information such as place of employment, home and business phone numbers, driver’s license and Social Security numbers, nearest relative and a local reference. A satisfactory letter of credit from a prior electric company can be used in lieu of a deposit. You can pay your deposit by cash, check, money order, debit card or credit card.
