Watch the edges

Arvada's boundaries wander. Pockets of unincorporated Jefferson and Adams County sit right against city streets, and the line with neighbors like Wheat Ridge isn't always where you'd guess. Addresses near those edges can fall under different service, so confirm yours rather than assuming.

Moving to Arvada: set up in this order

Before your first night in a place near Olde Town or out by Candelas, here's the short list for getting Arvada utilities switched into your name:

  1. Start electric service with Xcel Energy. Have power active before move-in when you can. Watch edges if you're near the county line or in a newer west-side subdivision toward the foothills.
  2. Open a Xcel Energy gas account. Ask which appliances are gas before you schedule with Xcel Energy.
  3. Handle the city utility account. Begin with Arvada CO, then confirm whether Arvada trash is city or private.
  4. Schedule internet install. Apartment wiring in Arvada can add a day. Don't cut it close.

Arvada utility questions, answered

Who provides electricity and gas in Arvada?

At every address we sampled across Arvada, Xcel Energy came up for both electricity and natural gas. Because Colorado doesn't offer retail energy choice, you won't be picking between competing suppliers. The provider is tied to where you live. When you move in, you're setting up service with Xcel rather than shopping a market. Run your address through the lookup to confirm it matches your specific block.

How do water and sewer work in Arvada?

These are handled locally, separate from your energy service. Sewer is a City of Arvada utility. A city-run service. Water runs through Arvada Water, which came up at every Arvada address we sampled. Since those are different providers than the one handling your gas and electric, plan to set them up on their own rather than folding them into your energy call. The lookup shows exactly what's tied to your address.

Is Arvada served by a city-owned electric utility like Colorado Springs or Fort Collins?

No. Some Colorado cities, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Longmont, run their own municipal electric utilities, but Arvada isn't one of them. Across the Arvada addresses we sampled, Xcel Energy handled both electricity and gas. What the city itself runs is sewer, through the City of Arvada, while your water comes via Arvada Water. So it's a mix of providers rather than one municipal utility. Check the lookup for your exact address to be sure.

Who is the electric company in Arvada?

100% of Arvada electric checks pointed to Xcel Energy, making it the clear local answer.

How do I set up all utilities for a Arvada address?
