What are renter/tenant responsibilities? 

Since water is a lienable utility in the State of Colorado, all water accounts stay in the property owner’s name. We do not put renters’ names on accounts. Per the owner's request, we will send a copy of the bill to the owner’s billing address. A bill can be sent to the service address in the name of the RENTER/TENANT if the owner sets this up for the account. It is up to the owner and the renter to determine start and/or end dates for responsibility of the water bill, including any proration in the event of a tenant moving in/out.

 

How do I transfer or close my account? 

Title companies are solely responsible for all transfers and closings.

Sellers: Sellers do not need to stop service to the property; we do not turn off water service when ownership changes. Service is instead transferred to the new owner. Confirm with your title company that it has requested a final bill and the transfer of service at your time of closing. The title company will pay the final bill with funds withheld in an escrow account.

Buyers: Buyers do not need to request a start of service, it will be transferred by the title company. Buyers should contact ECCV to confirm contact information such as phone number, email, etc. to ensure we can reach you in urgent situations.

Changing the name on an account: ECCV can change the name on an account/billing statement as long as the information matches the property owner’s name on file with Arapahoe County records http://www.co.arapahoe.co.us/1084/Residential-Commercial-Ag-and-Vacant-Lan. We would be happy to add your spouse as a secondary name on the account.

Renters – please review the renter/tenant responsibilities on this page.
