Water Utilities
The Water Utilities and Services Department provides essential water utility services that support thriving communities, robust economies and a sustainable environment. The department works to deliver clean drinking water, treat wastewater and manage stormwater and other water resources. The department consists of the following divisions: Water Quality, Water Treatment, Water Recovery, Stormwater, Distribution and Collections, Water Systems Automation and Maintenance, Water Resources and CIP and Construction.
Broomfield's Utility Enterprise Funds
Broomfield’s Water Fund, Sewer Fund and Water Reclamation Fund (collectively the Utility Funds) operate as “Enterprise” funds where rates and fees within each fund are set to cover the costs of providing respective services to customers. By law, enterprise funds are not supported by tax revenues but rather by service charges and fees. They must operate as a “stand-alone business” and generate the revenues necessary to provide services.
