Sewer Rates

Your cost for the water that you send down the drain to the Waste-Water Treatment Plant is calculated annually, based on the average amount of water consumed as reflected on your January and February utility bills. These two winter months were chosen so customers would not be charged for treated water used outdoors. If you water your lawn in the winter, the water used is included in your average. For new and transferring customers, the wastewater charge can be set in one of three ways:

• Transfer the wastewater base from a former address within Berthoud.
• Establish a wastewater base by providing water bills from another city. The bills need to reflect your water usage (in gallons) for the most recent January and February.
• Pay a flat rate until the wastewater base is established.

Waste Water Rates:

• $25.17 line fee
• $6.07 per 1000 gallons

Watering Restrictions

No irrigation shall be permitted between the hours of 10 am to 6 pm with the exception that micro-irrigation using hand watering, soaker hoses, drip irrigation and irrigation of newly laid sod and newly seeded lawns may be done at any time.
