Transfer of Service
Customers bills are sent to the property owner, who is responsible for payment.
For all rental properties within the District's service area, the customer account will remain in the name of Owner of Record.
If you are leasing or renting your residence, you may request a copy of the bill be sent to you as well.
When ownership of property is transferred, the water and sewer service must be transferred from the seller to the buyer.
In some instances, a homeowner or condominium association may collect dues and pay for your water and sewer use.
Colorado law dictates that a title company execute most transfers of service.
Water and sanitation districts have perpetual lien rights under Colorado Revised Statutes Title § 32-1-1001 (j)(I). The District has the right to lien any property that may have a delinquent or past due account. These lien rights are protected for the seller and buyer through the establishment of an escrow with the appropriate title company.
