Colorado's Front Range mostly runs on Xcel Energy — Denver and its ring of suburbs included — but the state's second-biggest city doesn't: Colorado Springs runs all four utilities through one city-owned operation, Fort Collins and Longmont power themselves too, and Pueblo belongs to a different utility. There's no plan-shopping in Colorado; the territory is the answer. Water is its own municipal story, city by city. Your address settles the whole lineup.

From Denver up and down the Front Range, Xcel Energy is the default answer for electricity and usually gas too — Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Aurora, Boulder and Greeley all sit in its territory. But Colorado has a stubborn municipal streak: Colorado Springs Utilities bundles electric, gas, water and sewer into one city account, and Fort Collins and Longmont run their own electric utilities with their own rates and their own outage crews. Pueblo runs on a different utility again.
None of this involves choosing: Colorado has no retail energy market, so the utility that holds your address is simply yours. The account that varies most is water — Denver Water, Aurora Water, city systems elsewhere, and a few genuinely odd arrangements — which is why the address-level answer beats the city-level one every time.
City-by-city breakdowns of who provides electricity, gas, water and sewer:
Along most of the Front Range it's Xcel Energy — but Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Longmont run city-owned electric utilities, and Pueblo is served by a separate utility. Territory decides it; there's no choosing. The lookup tells you which one holds your address.
Largely, yes — Colorado Springs Utilities is a four-service municipal utility covering electric, gas, water and sewer for most addresses in the city, which makes moving there unusually simple. That arrangement is the exception in Colorado, not the rule; most other cities split services across two or three organizations.
Almost always a municipal system, but each city's own: Denver Water, Aurora Water, the city utilities in Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, the Board of Water Works in Pueblo. Edges and newer subdivisions can sit in special districts instead — worth confirming at the address level.
Use the address lookup on this page. It checks your exact address against utility territory data and returns your electric, gas, water and sewer providers with contact details — more reliable than any city-level list, including this one.
