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
- 970-616-6260 for after-hours water and sewer emergencies. During the normal Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. office period, call Greeley Water and Sewer at 970-350-9811 and select the water-emergency option. The city’s contact menu also distinguishes water quality, pressure, sewer, billing, conservation, and new-meter routes; an active main break or burst should use the emergency number rather than the payment portal.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Greeley’s new SpryPoint portal provides real-time water-use monitoring and can generate leak warnings for sudden spikes, while the city’s AMI program provides frequent meter data for leak detection. The current public 2026 rate manual does not publish a customer-facing fixed percentage leak credit, universal receipt deadline, or automatic high-bill adjustment formula. A customer should document the high-use period, repair the leak, retain plumber invoices and parts receipts, review the portal’s consumption history, and call 970-350-9811 to ask whether an account-specific adjustment or billing review is available. A separate meter-failure rule in the manual uses average consumption for the same period in the prior two years at then-current rates; that rule is not a general customer-side leak waiver.
- Utility assistance program
- Greeley’s 2026 Utility Program provides a one-time $150 credit toward a qualifying customer’s water bill. The applicant’s name must be on the water account, the applicant must be a current Greeley resident who lived in the city for at least 10 months of 2025, and the applicant must provide residency and Social Security information for household members. The 2026 application period runs February 1 through the end of the year for the Utility Program, with applications available through the combined Low Income & Food Tax (LIFT) and Utility Program (UP) process. Income limits are published by household size, beginning at $43,284 for one person and increasing by household size.
- State and federal aid connection
- Greeley’s published water-assistance route is the locally administered Utility Program, paired with the city’s Low Income & Food Tax program. The city does not publish a direct Colorado or federal LIHWAP intake, automatic federal water credit, or charity payment workflow on the current water pages. Applicants should apply through the city’s LIFT/UP application and ask Utility Billing or 211 whether any current state, federal, or local charitable assistance can supplement the $150 credit; do not assume energy-assistance enrollment automatically pays a Greeley water account.
