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
- 303-441-3200 after hours to turn off water for an emergency; Utility Billing/customer service is 303-441-3260. The City instructs customers to call rather than use Inquire Boulder for leaks.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Boulder accepts a water leak adjustment request with repair documentation within 90 days of the due date on the bill for the affected period. Generally, leak-related excess water is not erased; it is billed at a lower Block 2 base rate. Customers should submit the form, proof of repair, and account/bill details; processing may take 6-8 weeks during irrigation season.
- Utility assistance program
- Boulder links financial-hardship community support and water-budget adjustment routes, but the reviewed page does not state a fixed senior, disability, or hardship-credit cap.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed Boulder page identifies community-support resources but no dedicated Colorado or federal water-assistance portal. Customers should call Utility Billing for current hardship referrals.
