What's Happening

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

A public hearing will be conducted on Monday, October 21, 2024 to receive public comment on a proposed increase in the annual user fees paid effective January 01, 2025. The annual flat rate is proposed to increase $16.03 from $320.69 to $336.72, and the fixture rate is proposed to increase $1.21 from $24.19 to $25.40 per fixture. The District must continue to proactively maintain, repair and replace the aging infrastructure. See notice here for more information. 

CURRENT FEES 

The Board of Directors adopted a 4.7% User Fee rate increase effective January 1, 2024.  Fees are as follows: $320.69 annual flat rate  and $24.19 fixture rate.

With regard to the delinquent fee presently charged by the district, the current $25.00 flat rate delinquent fee is minimal and is not discouraging late payment penalties.  Colorado State Statute allows up to 5% a month late fee on the principal up to a maximum of 25% of the initial billed amount.  Applying the maximum allowable amount of 5% per month will reduce the initial late fee cost for those less than 30 days late but will increase the late fees on accounts delinquent more than 30 days.  At the November board meeting, the Board of Directors, by unanimous vote, changed the method of delinquent fee assessment to A late fee of 5% of the assessment shall be charged on the unpaid balance, non-compoundable for five consecutive months, or part thereof, to any account whose assessment is not paid in full by March 31, or until paid in full, whichever is the earlier.

The Emergency Fund Pool will be billed in 2024 to replenish the fund. A $50 fee will be applied to your bill.
