2022 District Rates

After careful examination of the District’s Budget and finances, the Board has come to an agreement that inflationary costs can be absorbed without raising rates this year. With upgrades to the plant’s infrastructure on the horizon, rate increases are probable in years to come. The Board continues to monitor our financial situation and is working diligently to minimize the impact of any major system upgrades.

The 2022 Schedule of Fees and final approved Budget are available on our website www.TellerWater1.com on the Documents page.

Water Usage Portal – Website Launch

The company that processes the District’s meter reads, Pathway Reads, has informed us that the highly anticipated Customer Portal is now live. The portal will allow you to view and monitor your water usage online- down to the current month (by day) and up to 12 months of historical usage. This is the same information that is available to us at the billing office.

Please visit https://new.mymeterreads.com to get started. We recommend that you reference the user guide on our website, which provides detailed instructions on how to properly register your account. Teller County Water’s property code is 2846, which you will need when you register.
The user guide can be found by visiting www.TellerWater1.com and is located on the Documents page under Miscellaneous.

Changes to Auto-Payment Dates

For many years, we have maintained three separate auto-pay dates: the 1st of the month, the 5th
of the month and the 20th of the month. With the increase in customers who have chosen to utilize our auto-pay service, the District has approved a resolution to transition all of our auto-payment customers to the 20th (the payment deadline). This change will go into effect beginning March 1st, 2022. Please contact our office if you have any questions or concerns regarding your individual situation.
