Utility Rate Changes

The Longmont City Council is considering an update to Longmont’s water rates in order to continue providing reliable, high-quality service to the community. This would affect water rates in 2025-2027 and would also provide additional rebates for Longmont CAReS recipients.

If adopted, the rates would remain competitive with other Front Range communities and would also allow Longmont to:

• Replace aging infrastructure, and support the utility operations, maintenance and upgrades that are needed to continue providing our community with safe and reliable drinking water.
• Support future bonding to complete the expansion of the Nelson-Flanders water treatment plant and the replacement of Longmont’s remaining 80-to-100-year-old cast iron pipes.

A first reading vote on the measure has been scheduled for Oct. 8 with final consideration expected to come on Oct. 22.

Longmont prides itself on providing quality utility service to residents and businesses at a reasonable cost. The community also has a number of options available to help keep bills low, including:

• Longmont’s water conservation programs and rebates, which can help a home or business reduce its water usage
• Efficiency Works, which can also help homes and businesses find ways to save money, water and energy.
• Longmont CAReS, which offers financial assistance and rebates in a number of services for income-qualified residents.
