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
- For water and sewer-related issues and concerns, call Westminster Public Works & Utilities at (303) 658-2500. Utility Billing uses (303) 658-2405 for account support; the public pages reviewed do not publish a different after-hours leak number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Westy Water provides hourly and daily usage views and lets customers activate email leak alerts from Account > Notification Preferences after the portal identifies unusually high or continuous use. Westminster also maintains a leak repair program for income-qualified homeowners whose meter reports a leak and provides a separate leak-credit application link through its billing pages. The current public pages reviewed do not expose the complete 2026 credit formula, documentation checklist, maximum dollar reduction, or deadline; customers should apply through the City’s leak-assistance link and contact Utility Billing for the account-specific calculation.
- Utility assistance program
- Westminster’s 2026 water bill assistance program provides a $300 residential bill credit, applied as $25 per month over a 12-month period, for households meeting the published income guidelines of 60% of area median income; residents already qualifying for LEAP automatically qualify for the bill-credit program. A hardship program can provide one-time credits after a bill has been unpaid for at least 35 days, and a leak-repair program is free for qualifying homeowners. The emergency and essential repair program can provide up to $5,000 for eligible owner-occupied home repairs, including plumbing and water heaters. Applications and questions go to 303-658-2392 or ubassist@westminsterco.gov.
- State and federal aid connection
- Westminster integrates Colorado’s LEAP qualification into its local bill-credit program: a household that qualifies for LEAP automatically qualifies for the $300 local water credit, subject to the City’s program rules. The current public pages do not identify a separate active LIHWAP application or automatic federal water grant credit. Local assistance applications are mailed to Public Works & Utilities, Attn: Water Bill Assistance Program, 6575 W. 88th Ave., Westminster, CO 80031.
