Billing Changes

Your Account is Getting an Upgrade

Our Billing Portal is Changing

Our decision to transition to a new billing system stems from several key factors:

  1. Primarily, our current system, which is over two decades old, can no longer meet our evolving needs. We require access to more granular data for improved analysis and reporting, which our existing system cannot provide.
  2. Additionally, in response to customer inquiries, the new billing portal will allow us to redesign our bills to offer greater transparency and detailed information.
  3. Lastly, we recognize the necessity of implementing a more robust customer portal that offers enhanced information access and expanded payment options.

We appreciate your patience during this transition! The benefits of our new system will be worth any inconvenience.

Here's what you need to know

  • Your account WILL have a new account number.
  • If you want paperless statements or to pay online, you’ll need to create a new online account after October 7, 2025.
  • Mark your calendar! There will be a system blackout period from September 30 – October 6, 2025, meaning you cannot pay your bill or access your existing online account during that time. Please plan ahead accordingly.
  • Some payment methods are changing. If you currently pay with ACH, budget billing or bank bill pay, please visit the FAQ below.

FAQs

Q: How do I create a new online account?

A: Currently, you’ll continue using your current online account. After October 7, 2025, you must create a new online account. A step-by-step guide to setting up your new account will be coming soon.

A: Yes, you will have a new account number with our new billing system. Your new account number will be on your first bill created with the new billing system.

A: You do not need to create an online account. However, we highly recommend you do so because the new customer portal provides more information about your water bill. If you do not want to create an online account, you can still pay via check, phone or in person.

As of April 14, 2025, we have a new payment processing center if you wish to mail your payment. Make your check payable to “FCLWD” and send it to the following address:

Fort Collins-Loveland Water District
P.O. Box 501
Fort Collins, CO 80522

A: Starting October 7, 2025, FCLWD will discontinue its current ACH payment program, meaning your automatic payments will no longer be processed. To ensure uninterrupted service, you’ll need to set up a new recurring payment through our updated system, which offers enhanced security and a more streamlined process. We’ll send you a step-by-step guide to help you transition smoothly before your final ACH payment is processed.

If you would prefer to switch your payment method, additional payment options are available, including online, phone and in-person payments. Stay tuned for important deadlines and instructions on how to make the switch.

A: To ensure uninterrupted service, please update your FCLWD account number with your bank as soon as possible after October 7, 2025, when you know your new account number. This change is necessary to avoid any payment delays. Once you’ve updated the account number, verify that your payments are being correctly posted to your account. We’re happy to help you find the best solution if you’re looking for alternative payment options. We will continue to provide more details on how to make this update as our switch gets closer.

A: Your budget billing program is getting an upgrade! The current program will end early on September 27, 2025, which may impact your October bill calculations. A new and improved budget billing system will be implemented soon, with changes to payment amounts based on updated usage data. We’ll provide a clear timeline and guidance to help you transition smoothly. If you have any questions or need support during this change, we’re here to help! Stay tuned for more details on next steps.

A: It is best to pay your bill before the due date, if you can, to avoid late payment. During this blackout period, you will be unable to make changes to your account, there will be payment posting delays and payment over the phone will be unavailable. You can still pay by mailing a check or bringing a check to our office during the blackout period. We will be unable to post the payment until the blackout period is over, but it will be posted as soon as we are out of the blackout period.

 

A: If you miss your payment due to these changes, we’re here to help. Please give us a call at (970) 226-3104 if you have any questions about setting up your new online account or paying your bill.
