How water works in Aurora and beyond

Before your first night in that Anschutz-area condo or a new build out by Aurora Reservoir, run this quick checklist so the water and power are on when you arrive.
Xcel Energy provides both. Across addresses sampled in Aurora, gas came back as Xcel at every one, and electric at nearly all. Colorado doesn't have retail energy choice, so you won't be picking between competing suppliers. You set up service directly with Xcel. To be sure your specific address matches, run it through the lookup before you schedule a start date.
Usually, yes. Water and sewer in Aurora come from City of Aurora Water, the city-owned utility, at nearly all sampled addresses, while your electricity and gas come from Xcel. As is typical across Colorado, municipal water is often handled as its own city account, separate from your energy service. Set them up as two distinct things, and confirm both for your address with the lookup.
No. Some Colorado cities, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Longmont, run their own municipal utilities, and Pueblo is Black Hills Energy territory. Aurora isn't one of those; its power comes from Xcel Energy at essentially every sampled address. What the city does own and run is water. So plan on Xcel for energy and City of Aurora Water for water and sewer, and verify your address with the lookup.
Across the Aurora addresses we checked, Xcel Energy covers about 98% for electric.
