Provider briefing
How this utility’s billing works
City of Loveland Utilities operates as a municipal department serving Loveland. Customers should use the provider’s current account-specific bill and official customer-service instructions as the final authority for deadlines, balances, and service requests.
The published water-rate framework is described as Uniform monthly customer-charge-plus-volume structure for standard residential service. The 2026 schedule lists an inside-city single-family water base charge of $21.51 for a 0.75-inch meter plus $4.27 per 1,000 gallons; wastewater is separately charged with an $18.53 base plus $6.21 per 1,000 gallons. The schedule also contains outside-city rates and separate nonresidential, irrigation, capital-recovery, and meter-related charges.. Bills are generated monthly utility billing for city water and wastewater customers, with the due date shown on each statement., and a typical residential cost reference is For an inside-city single-family 0.75-inch account using 7,000 gallons, the 2026 schedule gives approximately $51.40 for water ($21.51 base plus 7 x $4.27) and $62.00 for wastewater ($18.53 base plus 7 x $6.21), or approximately $113.40 per month before other utility services, taxes, special charges, or any account-specific adjustments.. These descriptions are useful planning benchmarks; actual charges can change with meter size, usage, sewer averaging, local taxes, drought stages, or account-specific fees.
Wastewater and sewer calculation
Loveland publishes wastewater as a monthly customer charge plus a per-1,000-gallon volume charge rather than a stated winter-average formula in the reviewed 2026 schedule. The standard inside-city single-family example is an $18.53 base and $6.21 per 1,000 gallons; the final bill can vary by meter class, service area, and any separately listed utility charge.
Meter and infrastructure notes
Loveland is installing advanced water meters as the 2026 standard. Advanced meters communicate through a secure automated metering network and provide daily water-use visibility, outage detection, and remote connection capability. Eligible customers may choose a non-communicating digital meter, but the schedule lists a $360 one-time exchange fee and a $20 monthly manual-read charge; manual reads are physically performed monthly by city staff or licensed contractors.
