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
- 970-242-7491. Ute Water's outage center says outages, emergency breaks, and leaks should be reported to this main line and that an answering service takes calls outside regular hours; crews respond around the clock.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The adopted 2026 rules recognize approved adjustments for underground leaks and breaks in a customer's service line and charge the customer $1.00 per 1,000 gallons for the adjusted leak volume. The public tariff does not give a full application deadline or receipt checklist, so customers should promptly stop the leak, retain plumber invoices and photographs, record the meter, and contact Ute Water for approval before assuming a credit will be granted. The District distinguishes private service-line responsibility from its public-system maintenance and may require verification before adjusting the account.
- Utility assistance program
- The reviewed current Ute Water pages do not identify a recurring senior, disabled-veteran, or local water-credit program or a maximum assistance cap. Customers concerned about paying should contact Customer Service at 970-242-7491 to ask about current arrangements or referrals.
- State and federal aid connection
- No current Ute Water-specific LIHWAP application URL or federal water-assistance intake is published on the reviewed 2026 pages. Customers should contact the District for account arrangements and Mesa County/Colorado 211 or local human-services agencies for any active state, federal, or charitable water-assistance funds.
