Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- The reviewed billing pages provide Utility Billing at (303) 438-6319 for account issues and the Utilities Division at (303) 438-6334 for meter/AMR questions. A separate 24/7 water-main-break hotline was not clearly published on the current customer-facing pages; urgent service problems should be reported through the City’s official concern channels or by calling Utility Billing for the current dispatch number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Broomfield’s leak page explains that most meters cannot over-register and that unusual consumption is more commonly caused by a property leak, changed irrigation, or other customer circumstances. Customers can use the City’s free irrigation water-efficiency assessment and should inspect the property or hire a qualified plumber. The current public pages do not publish a universal high-bill adjustment credit, repair-receipt checklist, percentage reduction, or claim deadline.
- Utility assistance program
- The 2026 Utility Rate Assistance Fund accepts applications from March 2 through October 30 for households at or below 60% of area median income, regardless of renting, owning, or housing type. Assistance is issued quarterly: $20 per month/$240 annual maximum for single-family detached homes, $18 per month/$216 annual maximum for duplexes, townhomes, or mobile homes, and $17 per month/$204 annual maximum for apartments or condominiums. Direct City utility customers receive a quarterly bill credit; landlord/HOA-paid utilities receive a mailed quarterly check.
- State and federal aid connection
- Broomfield’s local URAF application is the current published assistance path and is administered by the City and County. The reviewed pages do not publish a separate active LIHWAP or Colorado water-assistance URL, but they direct households to City Human Services benefits and assistance resources and local organizations. Customers should ask Utility Billing whether state or federal funds can supplement URAF and how the award is posted.
