WE HAVE ONE JOB: YOUR WATER
Ute Water’s mission and commitment to the community is to secure and provide the highest quality water to meet the current and future needs of our customers at the lowest reasonable cost. Each year, Ute Water allocates funds to treat water, replace aging infrastructure, improve redundancy, and secure water for current and future needs.
On Wednesday, November 8th, 2023, Ute Water Conservancy District’s Board of Directors approved a $1.00 increase to the residential minimum rate. For non-residential District customers, the new monthly water rate minimum will be increased based on meter size. The residential and non-residential tiered billing rates above the minimum usage will not increase.
The new water rates go into effect for water delivered in December 2023 and billed beginning January 1, 2024.
