Distric Rates for 2023
In response to increases in master meter water rates and service fees from Denver Water, the Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to increase the District’s rates for 2023. The water & service rate increase will affect all District commercial and residential customers. Except for the Beers Sisters Area, the sanitary sewer rates will remain the same as they were in 2022. New rates take effect January 1, 2023.
Water Rates
| Service Fee | $10.10 | $11.00 |
| Consumption/1,000 gallons | $5.32 | $5.48 |
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 Billing System
Lakehurst has converted to a new billing system. If you currently have an account set up on our website portal, you will need to set up a new account to access your account information in the new system. The Billing ID no longer exists. Delete any old bookmarks and open a new browser to access our website’s customer portal to register your account.
Enter the account number shown on your bill. You will be prompted to enter your phone number. If you get an error message, contact our office to confirm that we have your phone number in our system so that you may continue your registration. We recommend using your email address as your new user ID. Otherwise, do not use any special characters in your user ID.
If you wish to pay online without registering your account, go to our new portal and select the “Quick Pay” button. Enter your new account number and click on “Find Account.” Your address and outstanding balance will be shown. You may pay with a debit or credit card. Payment by e-check requires registering your account and then selecting “Make a Payment.”
If you are paying your Lakehurst bills through your bank’s Billpay system, your payments are now delivered electronically. Once that day’s payments are posted, your account will reflect that decrease in its balance.
Customers who were already signed up for automatic payments do not need to re-submit their banking information. Your information has been transferred to the new billing system.
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 LowIncome Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), the new Low-Income Housing Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) has an opportunity to help with water and wastewater 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, 2022-April 30, 2023.
- 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.
