Distric Rates for 2022
In response to increases in master meter water rates and a service fee from Denver Water, the Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to increase our rates in 2022. The water & service rate increase will affect all District commercial and residential customers. The sanitary sewer rates will remain the same for 2022. New rates take effect January 1, 2022.
Water Rates
| Service Fee | $9.67 | $10.10 |
| Consumption/1,000 gallons | $5.10 | $5.32 |
Sewer Rates
| Sewer Service | $22.92 | $22.92 |
Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District does not have a property tax and must rely on water and sewer rates for revenue. These revenues are used to purchase water and offset the operation and maintenance expenses for over 76 miles of water mains and 68 miles of sewer mains as well as the replacement of the aging water and sewer system.
Lakehurst continues to provide services at rates that are among the lowest rates in Denver suburban areas.
Additional information regarding the rate increase and other water or sewer related topics is available on our website, www.lakehurstwater.org or by calling Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District office at (303) 985-7895.

New Water Bill Assistance
If residents are experiencing a financial hardship, it’s better to pay what they can to keep the balance manageable.
If a household qualifies for the Colorado Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, the new Low-Income Housing Water Assistance Program has an opportunity to help with water bills. This emergency federal program, operated through the Colorado Department of Human Services and part of the federal government’s response to the pandemic, helps residents pay their water and wastewater bills, avoid shut offs and support reconnections related to non-payment.
For information on LIHWAP assistance and eligibility, including income requirements, visit cdhs.colorado.gov/leap.
Funds for the LIHWAP program are limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. To qualify for LIHWAP assistance, the household must meet these criteria:
- Be approved for Colorado Low-income Energy Assistance Program during Nov. 1, 2021-April 30, 2022.
- Complete the addendum within the LEAP application and submit a copy of your water bill.
- Must pay drinking water services and/or waste/sewer services directly to a water vendor.
- Have water or wastewater service that is disconnected, facing disconnection or have a past due amount on the bill.
