While some water and wastewater providers are funded by a combination of property tax and rates, Centennial Water is solely funded by rates. Rates provide funding for operations and reserve for future needs including water acquisition, debt service and capital. The Centennial Water board of directors is committed to the annual review of rates to ensure sufficiency for the upcoming year and the future. Centennial Water’s rates continue to be among the lowest in the south Denver Metro area.
