Moving to Fort Collins: set up in this order

New to Fort Collins? Before your first night in town, whether you're near Old Town or out by Horsetooth, run this quick checklist.

  1. Call City of Fort Collins for electric start. Aim for service dated on or before your keys. Watch edges if you're near the annexed edges of town, where Poudre Valley REA may serve your electric.
  2. Set up Xcel Energy if the home uses gas. Many newer Fort Collins builds never need a gas account.
  3. Start water (and sewer/trash) service. The lookup lists City of Fort Collins (and any separate sewer/trash) for your Fort Collins block.
  4. Internet last, but order it early. Check which ISPs reach your exact Fort Collins address.

Fort Collins utility questions, answered

Who provides electricity in Fort Collins?

Most Fort Collins homes get electricity from Fort Collins Utilities, the provider at the majority of addresses we sampled. But about a quarter sit on Poudre Valley REA lines instead, often newer or outlying neighborhoods that were annexed as the city grew. Because there's no retail choice in Colorado, you don't pick; your address determines the provider. Run it through the lookup to see which one serves you.

Do I set up gas and electric separately in Fort Collins?

Usually, yes. Because different companies handle each. Natural gas came from Xcel Energy at every address we sampled, while electricity comes from Fort Collins Utilities or, in some areas, Poudre Valley REA. Water and sewer showed up under Fort Collins Utilities across the board. That means setting up service can involve more than one provider, so it's worth confirming each line with the lookup before your move.

Who handles water and sewer in Fort Collins?

Both water and sewer came back as Fort Collins Utilities at every address we sampled. The same name that covers electricity for most of the city. Keep in mind that's the service provider; how billing and accounts are arranged is worth confirming directly when you set up service. Electric is the line most likely to vary by address, so run your specific place through the lookup before you assume anything.
