City of Greeley Approves Water Utility Rates for 2025

Rates Increase Helps Address Stormwater Funding to Protect Our Community 

GREELEY, Colo. — Starting January 1, 2025, Greeley residents will experience an average monthly utility bill increase of $15.02 for water, wastewater and stormwater services. The increase in rates enables the city to continue providing high-quality services to its customers while protecting the community from the impacts of severe weather. 

Greeley’s Water and Sewer Board approved the new rates for water and wastewater this week. City Council approved the rate increase for stormwater when it finalized its 2025 budget in October.  

Average Monthly Rate Increases 

  • Water: $4.63  

  • Sewer: $1.70 

  • Stormwater: $8.69 

Stormwater Rate Increase 

The City of Greeley is working to improve its stormwater system to protect the community from the impacts of severe weather. Recent storms, like the one in May 2024, show how important it is to invest in stormwater infrastructure, which has not had enough funding in the past. 

The May 2024 storm caused over $1.45 million in damage to properties. The rate increase for stormwater will help protect lives and property. Over the next 5-7 years, the city will be able to complete more projects faster, resulting in improved stormwater drainage that will protect lives and property. 

Financial Assistance 

City leaders know that the increase in water utility rates could be a challenge for some residents, and we are here to help. The City of Greeley offers two programs to assist low-income families with their utility bills: the Low Income & Food Tax (LIFT) program and the Utility Program (UP).

  • Utility Program (UP) - $150 credit toward your household water bill
