About

Utilities: Here BEFORE You Need Us.

Fort Collins Utilities delivers electric, water, wastewater, and stormwater services to more than 75,000 customers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a community-owned utility, we go beyond the basics to ensure reliable, high-quality service no matter the season or circumstance.

From severe storms to holiday weekends, our crews are ready. Whether responding to outages or keeping essential systems running, we’re here day and night to serve you with the highest standards.

Benefits of Being Community-Owned

We don’t have investors or shareholders to answer to and we are not motivated by profit generation. Some of the benefits of being a municipal utility include:

• Lower rates and revenues that stay in Fort Collins
• Local decision-making to determine how services are provided
• Not-for-profit operations that ensure customer payments are reinvested directly in Utilities
• Focus on responsive customer service and community values

Leading the Way

Utilities staff continually look for innovative ways to improve our services and help the community. We strive to meet and exceed benchmarks and rank above most utilities in water treatment and power reliability. 

We are very fortunate that our predecessors planned so well for our future. Because of their foresight, we have an underground power supply resulting in relatively few and shorter outages, improved floodplains reducing flood risk to people and businesses, and a vast water rights portfolio to ensure enough water for our water customers. Our community benefits every day from this good planning.
