Billing Information
Water meters, owned and maintained by the Board of Water Works, are read monthly. The service line, from the water main in the street to the point of use, is owned by the property owner. Bills for water service are issued a few days after the meter is read. Bills are due upon receipt, delinquent if not paid within twenty days.

Application for Service & Deposit
An application is required of all customers and a service deposit may apply. Deposits are based on the average cost of three (3) months of water service for the premise to be served, but not less than $75.

Service Fees
Turn On for Nonpayment of Account:
$20 is charged to accounts shut off for nonpayment of delinquent bills.

Check Processing:$15 is charged for NSF checks which are returned to the Board of Water Works by your bank.

Field Collection: $10 is charged for any payment collected at a premise by Board of Water Works personnel.

City of Pueblo Utility Charges
Your water bill contains a Wastewater utility charge and a Storm water utility charge, both of which the Board of Water Works bills and collects for the City of Pueblo. The wastewater charge is based on the average of water consumed during the two month period between December and February meter readings. The storm water charge is based on the total area of impervious surfaces (roof, sidewalks, driveways, patios) on your property. Questions pertaining to rates for wastewater service may be directed to the City of Pueblo Wastewater Department, 553-2298. Questions pertaining to rates for storm water service may be directed to the City of Pueblo Storm water Utility, 553-2299.
