Given our semi-arid climate and our location from a major water source, prudent water practices will always be a priority for our community. With the irrigation season upon us, here’s a brief reminder of our year-round tiered water prices.
There is a price for essential indoor use, a moderate price for typical outdoor use and a higher price for excess use. Calculations are based on monthly use. One cubic foot (CF) equals 7.48 gallons.
| Up to 999 CF |
2.51 cents/CF |
| 1,000 to 2,499 CF |
4.68 cents/CF |
| More than 2,500 CF |
6.91 cents/CF |
Water continues to be a tremendous value in Colorado Springs. A gallon of water delivered right to your tap costs about one-half cent.
Our water rates are about average for Colorado Front Range cities even though Colorado Springs has to pipe most of its water all the way from the Continental Divide. Cities such as Denver and Pueblo have large rivers bringing water to their towns, making their cost to provide service lower than ours.
