Leak relief and household assistance

A high water bill may have a path to review

Hidden plumbing failures can produce an alarming bill before the problem is visible. This guide separates what GREELEY CITY OF publicly describes from the practical steps every customer can take while requesting help.

Provider-specific review

What the public record says about a leak adjustment

Greeley offers free water-efficiency assessments for residences, landlords, businesses, and organizations. Staff look for leaks and unintended uses, inspect irrigation, suggest repairs, and provide water-saving devices; urgent high-bill or leak-location requests go to efficiency@greeleygov.com or (970) 350-9811 option 6. No guaranteed bill-credit formula or repair-receipt requirement is published.

Stop the loss

Shut off the failing fixture or supply and arrange a qualified repair.

Keep proof

Save dated invoices, parts receipts, photographs, and meter readings.

Request review

Submit the request promptly and keep paying any undisputed amount.

Utility assistance

Customer assistance and eligibility

The Utility Program (UP) provides a one-time $150 credit toward a household water bill for qualified Greeley residents. The same application can cover UP and the Low Income & Food Tax (LIFT) program; current 2026 information lists multilingual forms and income/residency requirements. Contact Lift.up@greeleygov.com or (970) 350-9748.

State and federal connections

Where to ask for broader aid

Greeley documents locally administered UP/LIFT assistance at https://greeleyco.gov/finance/food-tax-and-lift-up-program/. Residents can mail or drop applications with City Utility Billing; no separate state or federal water-aid integration is published on the water page.

Leak and assistance notes

Build the file before asking GREELEY CITY OF for relief

A high bill can have several causes, including a hidden plumbing failure, irrigation use, a meter issue, a change in occupancy, or a rate adjustment. The provider’s leak policy determines whether any credit is available; an unusually high bill does not automatically qualify.

Keep a dated record of the reading, the suspected source, the repair, the contractor or parts receipt, and the return to normal use. Ask whether the utility requires a specific form, a licensed repair, a meter test, photos, or a request within a fixed number of days.

For income-related difficulty, ask about local assistance, payment arrangements, state programs, and community referrals separately from a leak adjustment. These programs often use different applications, documents, funding limits, and deadlines.
