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 online, visit our Utility Bill Payment System and select "Start Utility Service" on the left side of the page.
To connect by phone, simply call Utility Billing at 303-651-8664 between 8 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday. Regardless of which way you choose, we will ask for 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. 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.

What happens to your deposit?
The City of Longmont retains all residential deposits for one year and all commercial deposits for two years. At that time, the City will review your payment history. If payments to your account have been made in a timely fashion, your deposit and all accrued interest will be credited to your account. If service is disconnected before two years, and if your account with the City is paid in full, your deposit and accrued interest will be refunded to you in the form of a check.
