Skip to content The Fort Collins-Loveland Water District Board of Directors approved the 2027 water rates and fees on Oct. 20, 2026. The new rates will take effect Jan. 1, 2027.
The District’s independent rate study identified significant capital improvement needs to maintain and improve the existing water system. Addressing these needs is the primary reason for the approved rate increase and will help ensure FCLWD can continue providing reliable, high-quality water service.
Monthly water service rates are increasing by 30% across all customer categories. Your individual bill will depend on your account’s rate category, tap size and water usage. If you need help identifying the rates that apply to your account, email FrontDesk@FCLWD.com or call (970) 226-3104.
The approved resolution includes detailed monthly service rates, water usage charges, tap fees and other District fees.

At Fort Collins-Loveland Water District (FCLWD), our rates are set through a careful, data-driven process focused on covering the costs of maintaining and upgrading our infrastructure. FCLWD does not profit from rate increases. Every dollar collected supports our ongoing operations and ensures we can continue providing reliable, high-quality water to our customers. We aim to keep base rates affordable while reflecting the costs of water usage through our tiered rate structure, which ensures fair pricing based on consumption.
As a Title 32 Special District, we are dedicated to transparency. Our rates are reviewed annually, based on independent studies that evaluate our operational and infrastructure needs, ensuring that rate changes directly support our mission of reliable water delivery and system sustainability.
Please call the FCLWD office if you are not sure whether you are served using “FCLWD water” or “City of Fort Collins IGA service area.” The determining factor is whether you (or the builder) dedicated water rights to the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District or City of Fort Collins at the time of construction.
