Rental Property Accounts

In the State of Colorado, water is an asset capable of being subjected to a lien. Which means it stays with the property rather than the tenants. For this reason, water utility accounts will be kept in the property owner's name. Only the property owner can request in writing to add tenant(s) and/or property management companies to the account to receive a copy of the bill and make payments.

The lease or rental agreement between the owner/owner representative and the tenant does not represent an agreement for utility services between the Town of Severance and the tenant.

The Town is not required to seek payment of utility bills from any person other than the owner of the property served.

The Town of Severance recognizes the rights and duties of owner/owner representatives and tenants as outlined in federal law, state statutes, safety and housing codes, contract law, and court decisions.

Please note: The Town of Severance will not activate new accounts on a property with a delinquent balance. Account balances must be paid in full before establishing future accounts at the same property.
