Water and Sewer

We serve the City of Greeley by treating and distributing nearly 9 billion gallons of water every year with more than 500 miles of pipeline, two drinking water plants, a wastewater treatment plant, three treated water reservoirs, six raw water reservoirs, and a variety of pumping stations.

How Greeley saves residents millions each year with nonpotable irrigation

Check out this 5-minute video to learn about the city's nonpotable program.

This program, which uses untreated water (compared to drinking water) to irrigate large public spaces such as parks, ballfields and cemeteries, saves millions each year by not having to treat the water, reserving the right water for the right use.

Where does the money go?

For every dollar you pay on your utility bill,81 cents goes toward large capital projects, including construction, water acquisition and treatment. The remaining goes toward administrative functions and personnel.

Greeley Water and Sewer Board

New! Bulk Water Station

The City of Greeley has opened its first Bulk Water Station, which allows developers and oil and gas companies to collect necessary water faster at one central point rather than tap from water hydrants across the city for their fracking or dust-control needs.

The Bulk Water Station is located at 535 1^st Ave. in east Greeley and is equipped with a credit card machine to purchase water on site. Those who have registered with an account through Flowpoint, need only put in a PIN number to access necessary water.
