Can I view my bill on-line? How do I sign up for paperless billing?
Yes, you can view your most recent bill on-line, along with the two billings before the most recent bill date. You can also sign up for email notification, so that you will receive an email notice from us when your most recent bill is available for viewing.
If you no longer want a copy of your bill mailed to you each month, sign up for paperless billing (this option automatically enrolls you for email notification, so make sure we have a valid email address for you.) When your due date arrives, remember that you can easily pay your bill on line too. For more complete information on this process, please click on the link below:

I am selling my house and need to disconnect utilities. Is
there anything else I need to do?
The owner of the property, rather than the realtor or title company must
call the City to disconnect utilities. Allow at least 24 hours for this
to be done. In most cases, the City will send the final bill for your service
to the title company that is working with you. They will call the City prior
to your closing to get an estimate of your final bill and escrow that amount
for payment to the City. This is done so that they are assured of providing
clear title to the buyer. Call Utility Billing at 303 651-8664 weekdays
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. if you have questions or are ready to disconnect
your service.
