Water Meter Maintenance

Utilities completes periodic maintenance on water meters to ensure accurate and reliable service. If you received notification from Fort Collins Utilities to schedule maintenance on your water meter, you may schedule the service a no cost to you.

Appointments typically take about 20-40 minutes and your water will be turned off for about 15-20 minutes. Crews will need access to the inside water meter and the outside read device. A responsible adult (18+) must be home during the service.
