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
- 970-962-3456, the city's 24-hour water/sewer break and water emergency number. Life-threatening emergencies should be reported to 911; the general utility switchboard is 970-962-3000.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The reviewed 2026 rate and payment pages do not publish a universal residential leak-credit formula, cap, or receipt checklist. A customer should stop the leak, preserve plumber invoices and parts receipts, photograph the repair, record the meter readings, and contact Utility Billing at 970-962-2111 promptly for case-specific review. Any approved adjustment, billing dispute, or payment arrangement should be documented before the account reaches the city's written termination sequence.
- Utility assistance program
- Loveland does not publish a permanent senior or disabled-veteran water-rate discount in the reviewed 2026 schedule. Local bill assistance is available through House of Neighborly Services' HAND program for households at or below 70% of area median income, Neighbor to Neighbor for Larimer County households at or below 80% AMI, and the city's listed utility-assistance partners. The city's annual Utility Rebate Program is described as on hold indefinitely as of the current assistance page.
- State and federal aid connection
- The city directs eligible households to Neighbor to Neighbor, House of Neighborly Services, Energy Outreach Colorado, and Colorado's federally funded Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP). LEAP applications for Larimer County are handled through Discover Goodwill during the normal November 1-April 30 season; callers can use 1-866-432-8435. These programs generally pay an approved benefit to the household energy supplier or utility rather than automatically forgiving a Loveland water balance, so customers should also contact Utility Billing and the local agency before disconnection.
