DENVER — Denver Water customers will see their monthly bills increase in 2025.
The Denver Board of Water Commissioners adopted rate changes on Wednesday that will see the average customers bill increase by an average of $2 to $3 per month.
The new rates will take effect Jan. 1, 2025.
Denver Water said in a news release that the rate increases will help pay for "upgrades, projects and ongoing maintenance and repair work to keep its system operating efficiently while keeping rates as low as good service will allow."
Denver Water said it plans to invest $1.8 billion over the next 10 years in projects to maintain, repair, protect and upgrade its system.
"Our lives depend on water, and the mission of Denver Water is to ensure that our customers — 1.5 million people across Denver and surrounding suburbs — enjoy safe and reliable water service today and for the future," said Denver Water CEO/Manager Alan Salazar. "The system we have today is due to the foresight of Denver Water’s past leadership. In keeping with this legacy, we have a responsibility to be good stewards of this system and the water it provides, while keeping rates as low as good service will allow."
