Fort Collins Utilities’ October 28 update showed a proposed 2027 bill of $222.75 for an average residential customer using all four city utility services. That compared with $203.89 under 2026 rates—an $18.86 monthly increase.
The proposal listed increases of 7% for electricity, 15% for water, 10% for wastewater and 5% for stormwater. The city pointed to capital projects, aging infrastructure and operating costs as reasons for the changes.
The release, originally published in June, identified council readings for November 3 and November 17. It described proposed rates rather than a final decision. A household’s actual bill would depend on the services and usage reflected in its account, not simply the four-service example.
