Boxelder sanitation district to reduce rates due to COVID-19

FORT COLLINS — The Boxelder Sanitation District, which serves 15,000 customers in Fort Collins, Windsor, Severance, Timnath and unincorporated areas of Larimer and Weld counties, will reduce its rates to provide relief during the COVID-19 epidemic.

The district will reduce rates by $15 per month per customer, according to an action taken by the district’s board of directors. 

Boxelder will hold an online public hearing to officially implement the rate change on April 28. Changes will be reflected in customers’ May bills.

Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

To offset the cut, the district will suspend all planned rehabilitation and replacement projects in 2020, such as pipe relining and replacement as well as manhole repairs.
