The City of Loveland owns and operates its water and stormwater utilities. These utilities are operated much like a business, where residents are billed for service. The City maintains these assets and sets rates based on the needs of the utility. A benefit of having the City control these utilities is that City Council can also keep rates low in difficult economic times to protect the residents. City Council has done this in recent years, where reserves (like your savings account) have been spent so that rates did not have to increase.
Water Main Replacement Fee
A monthly Water Main Replacement (WMR) Fee will be added to all City of Loveland water accounts, beginning with the January 2023 billing. The money will be specifically earmarked to establish a long-term water main replacement program for the city.
