Water
(Public Water Supply ID # CO-0144010)
*** For suspected water problems, call Town Hall, 847-3761 or the Morgan County
Communications Center, 867-8531 ***
The Town of Hillrose is very unique from other water purveyors in Northeast
Colorado, in that the Town has a dual water distribution system. The Town
provides metered indoor, potable drinking water from one water distribution
system, and un-metered outdoor, non-potable irrigation water from a second water
distribution system.
Indoor Water
The Town provides indoor water, as a consecutive water system to Morgan County
Quality Water District (PWSID #CO-0144020). Treatment consists of a
combined disinfection system of ultraviolet light exposure and calcium hypochlorite
dosing for chlorine residual. Water pressures are boosted at the pump
station to 70 p.s.i.
*** 2019 Consumer Confidence Report ***
( For the calendar year 2018, using Quality Water for indoor use)
The typical residential indoor water bill is approximately $69.21 per month for a base usage of
5,000 gallons per
month and potable water debt fees. Usage above the 5,000 gallons per month base is surcharged on a
tiered system. While this base charge may seem a bit pricey, it is more
than offset by the outdoor water charge (see below). Tiered water
use charges are located on the Billing Codes Page.
Outdoor Water
The Town provides outdoor water from a Town operated well. Its water
source is the South Platte Alluvium, and is augmented by the Lower Platte and
Beaver Canal Company. The cost for un-metered use is $14.42 per month
(includes non-potable water debt fees).
NO TREATMENT IS PROVIDED TO THE NON-POTABLE WATER SYSTEM
AND IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!
The Town does not allow for open hose irrigation. The outdoor water is
also subject to water restrictions during times of limited water availability.
Wastewater
(Colorado Discharge Permit #COG-589030)
*** For suspected sewer problems, call Town Hall, 847-3761 or the Morgan County
Communications Center, 867-8531 ***
The Town of Hillrose operates a two stage, total evaporative lagoon treatment
system. The lagoon system has the ability to discharge on demand, allowing
the Town to take advantage of changing lagoon conditions and avoiding
non-compliance with discharge standards. The Town utilizes three,
efficient technology, solar-powered mixers for aeration. One mixer in the
first stage lagoon also utilizes a shore power adapter during the night time,
using as much electricity as a single incandescent light bulb.
The Town does not accept septage waste.
The cost of a tap is $1,000 for the Hillrose Estates Subdivision, $1,500
elsewhere in Town. The single family unit monthly fee is $42.92 (includes
sewer debt fees).
The monthly fee for service outside of the Town limits is double the in-town
rate.
