Distric Rates for 2024
In response to increases in master meter water rates and service fees from Denver Water and increases in treatment costs from Metro Water Recovery, the Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to increase our rates in 2024. The water consumption, service charge, and sanitary sewer rate increase will affect all District commercial and residential customers and will take effect January 1, 2024
Water Rates
| Service Fee | $11.00 | $11.55 |
| Consumption/1,000 gallons | $5.48 | $5.73 |
Sewer Rates
| Sewer Service | $22.92 | $23.92 |
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 from Denver and treatment services from Metro Water Recovery and offset the operation and maintenance expenses for over 86 miles of water mains and 71 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.
System Rehabilitation Projects Scheduled for 2024
Lakehurst’s Board of Directors have included several new rehabilitation projects in the 2024 budget. These projects are needed to provide a more reliable water and sewer system now and in the future. Estimated budget costs are included with the projects listed below.
Water and Sewer Projects for next year include:
- Replacing five, old, non-repairable fire hydrants with newer models. $65,000
- Phase 3 of the West Quincy Avenue Jefferson County roadway expansion project, to include the replacement and relocation of approximately 2,500 feet of 12-inch water line between S. Beach Way and S. Eldridge St. $1,200,000

Updated E-Billing Option
A year ago, Lakehurst converted to a new billing system. At that time, customers who wished to receive e-bills instead of paper bills mailed to them, had to register their accounts on the portal of Lakehurst’s website so that they could view and/or print their statements. We are pleased to announce that a recent update to our billing system has changed e-billing so that a PDF of your statement will be attached to the email you receive if you have chosen or opt to receive e-bills instead of paper bills.
You may still view your bills, including previous ones, in your online portal account and make payments, including setting up Automatic Payments. However, an online portal account is no longer required to view/print your bill each month with the email that is sent with it should you select e-billing.
If you wish to switch to e-billing, simply go to our website and send us an email through the “Contact Us” option and tell us your service address and email address to where the monthly e-bills should be sent and we will make that change going forward.
