Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly, billed in arrears for approximately 28-35 days of service. Broomfield uses four geographic billing cycles: cycle 1 on the first Thursday, cycle 2 on the second Thursday, cycle 3 on the third Thursday, and cycle 4 on the fourth Thursday of each month. Bills are due on the Friday 15 calendar days after processing.
- Rate structure
- Monthly fixed base charge by meter or dwelling-unit classification plus increasing usage tiers, effective February 1, 2026. A single-family account has a $42.45 monthly base charge; usage is rounded down to the nearest 1,000 gallons and priced at $2.75 per 1,000 gallons for 0-5,000 gallons, $4.39 for 6,000-9,000 gallons, and $6.22 above 10,000 gallons. Multi-unit and nonresidential accounts use different published schedules.
- Residential cost reference
- For a standard single-family account using 6,000 gallons, the published 2026 water schedule yields approximately $60.59 for water before sewer and other utility charges: $42.45 base plus five thousand gallons at $2.75 and one thousand gallons at $4.39. If the account has a 6,000-gallon average winter consumption, sewer is $37.56 and the federal mandate charge is $3.12, producing an indicative combined water/sewer total of about $101.27 before stormwater, environmental-compliance, or other charges. Actual sewer depends on the property winter average and ERU minimum.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sewer uses the greater of average winter consumption multiplied by $6.26 per 1,000 gallons or the equivalent-residential-unit charge of $25.04 per ERU, with a minimum of $25.04 per dwelling unit. New accounts are charged a flat $37.56 monthly rate per ERU, minimum one ERU, until a winter average is established. The winter average uses four monthly bills from November 1 through March 31 and is re-evaluated at the end of March; the resulting rate appears on bills beginning in April. A separate 2026 federal mandate charge is $0.52 per 1,000 gallons of AWC, or $3.12 per ERU for new accounts.
- Meter reading
- Broomfield uses Automatic Meter Reading with an ERT radio transmitter attached to the water meter. A handheld or vehicle-mounted receiver wakes the ERT, reads and encodes the register, matches the identifier to the property, and uploads the reading to the billing system at the end of the day. Billing is monthly and divided into four geographic cycles, with cycle-specific Thursday processing; customers must keep meters accessible. The city also publishes a 28-35 day arrears billing period and rounds usage down to the nearest 1,000 gallons.
