Aurora CO Water Bill Guide

Pay Your Aurora Water Bill, Request Reconnect, or Report a Water Emergency Correctly

Aurora Water customers should use the official City of Aurora billing page and customer portal for water, wastewater and storm drain billing. This guide fixes the old post’s weak details and gives you the correct payment, reconnect, after-hours emergency, water main break, assistance and water-usage tracking steps.

Start here if you need to pay a bill, avoid card-fee confusion, complete a reconnect request, check usage in the customer portal, apply for Aurora Water Cares, or decide which phone number to call.

Best starting point for a normal bill: Use Aurora Water’s Billing and Rates page or the Aurora Water customer portal to make a one-time payment, create an online profile, set up AutoPay, request paperless billing, view account history or manage payment methods.
If water service was discontinued: After paying online or by automated phone, Aurora says to call 303-739-7388 or log into your online profile and complete a Reconnect Request.

Aurora Water Phone Numbers You Should Not Mix Up

Aurora Water has different numbers for billing, business-hour customer service, after-hours emergencies, water main breaks and general inquiries. Calling the right number saves time, especially when service is disconnected or a leak is active.

How to Pay Your Aurora CO Water Bill Online

Aurora’s Billing and Rates page lets customers make a one-time payment, create an online profile, pay a bill, set up and manage AutoPay, request paperless billing and view account history. This is the safest place to start because it is directly connected to Aurora Water.

  1. Open the official Aurora Water billing page.
    Start here: Aurora Water Billing and Rates.
  2. Choose one-time payment or portal login.
    Use one-time payment if you only need to pay today. Use the portal if you want AutoPay, paperless billing, account history, payment history or usage tools.
  3. Review your payment method.
    ACH and e-check options remain no cost. If you are a non-residential customer paying by credit card, review the fee notice before submitting.
  4. Check the service address and balance.
    Make sure you are paying the correct account, especially if you own multiple properties or recently moved.
  5. Save the confirmation.
    Keep the confirmation number, receipt email or screenshot until the payment appears in the portal.
Practical payment tip: If your account is already disconnected, do not stop at payment. Aurora says you must call billing or complete a Reconnect Request after the full past-due balance is paid.

Water Shut Off or Discontinued? Aurora Reconnect Steps

If Aurora Water discontinued service because the account became past due, paying is only part of the process. Aurora’s billing information says shutoff can occur when the account balance is 40 days past due, and fees may be incurred.

Reconnect instruction: Once the full past-due balance is paid, contact billing in person or by phone at 303-739-7388, or log into your online profile and complete a Reconnect Request.
  1. Confirm the full past-due amount.
    Do not rely on an old screenshot or older bill if shutoff fees or late charges may have been added.
  2. Pay through the official route.
    Use Aurora’s official billing page, phone system or authorized payment route.
  3. Save the receipt.
    Keep the payment confirmation, receipt email and payment date.
  4. Complete the reconnect step.
    Call 303-739-7388 or log into your online profile and complete a Reconnect Request.
  5. Ask when service should return.
    Aurora’s billing page says water will be turned on by the end of the day after the required steps are completed, but you should confirm your account-specific timing.
After-hours issue? Aurora Water lists after-hours emergencies and reconnects at 303-739-6772.

Aurora Water Cares: Bill Assistance and Donation Program

Aurora Water Cares is Aurora’s water assistance program resource. If your bill is becoming difficult to manage, check this before the account reaches shutoff status. Acting early gives you more room to gather documents, ask questions and avoid last-minute stress.

  1. Open the official Aurora Water Cares page.
    Start here: Aurora Water Cares.
  2. Call billing with questions.
    Aurora’s page directs questions to the billing office at 303-739-7388.

    Save screenshots, emails, application proof and payment confirmations.
Helpful note: Aurora Water Cares also allows donations. Non-Aurora Water customers may donate through Spirit of Aurora by calling 1-833-55WATER.

Track Aurora Water Usage Before a High Bill Becomes a Dispute

Aurora’s customer portal and EyeOnWater resources make this article more useful than a simple payment page. Instead of guessing why a bill went up, customers can review consumption, usage summaries, account history and meter-related data.

Customer portal View payment and statement history, water consumption graphs, water usage summary and account details.
EyeOnWater app Use your Aurora Water account number and service location or billing ZIP code to sign up.
Advanced metering Aurora’s meter replacement program and AMI tools help customers see water usage online.

Use usage data for these situations

  • Checking whether a high bill started suddenly or grew over time.
  • Spotting irrigation spikes during warm months.
  • Comparing daily use before and after a leak repair.
  • Confirming whether a payment posted before paying again.
  • Checking whether sewer charges changed after winter-quarter recalculation.
Official resources: Use the Water Customer Portal and EyeOnWater instructions.

High Aurora Water Bill Checklist: What to Check First

Aurora bills can include water, wastewater and storm drain charges. Sewer usage charges are based on the winter-quarter average, calculated from December through February, and the new sewer charges are reflected on the April bill. That means a high bill may be caused by usage, leaks, irrigation, sewer recalculation or payment history, not only the current month’s water use.

Winter sewer average Check whether your April bill reflects a new sewer usage calculation.
Irrigation spike Outdoor watering can raise usage quickly, especially during dry or restricted seasons.
Toilet leak A running toilet can waste water quietly. Try a dye test before calling.
AMI / usage graph Use portal usage graphs to find the date range where usage changed.
Payment mismatch Check account history before making a duplicate payment.
Storm drain charge Review fixed charges separately from consumption charges.

Have this ready before calling Aurora Water

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Account number and service address.
  • Usage graph or EyeOnWater screenshot if available.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Leak repair receipt, plumber invoice, irrigation repair proof or photos.
  • Notes about outdoor watering, guests, irrigation cycles, new tenants or appliance changes.

Aurora Water Emergency, Main Break or After-Hours Reconnect

Do not treat all water issues like billing questions. A suspected main break, no-water issue, street flooding, sewer backup or after-hours reconnect needs the correct emergency contact.

Issue
Best number
What to say
Water main break
Give the nearest address, cross street, visible water location and whether the street is affected.
After-hours water emergency
Explain the emergency, service address and whether water service is off or property damage is occurring.
Business-hour billing emergency
Ask whether billing or reconnect action is needed after payment.
General water question
Use for general Aurora Water administration and non-urgent questions.
Safety first: If water is flowing into a road, basement, electrical area or public space, call before trying to document everything. Take photos only from a safe distance.

Landlords, Property Owners and Rental Accounts in Aurora

Aurora’s landlord resources say the property owner is the primary account holder for water services, including potable water connections, sewer service and storm drain charges. This matters for rental properties, title transfers and account responsibility questions.

Situation
Why it matters
Best action
New property sale
Account setup is tied to title transfer and ownership verification.
Check with Aurora Water billing if ownership or account responsibility is unclear.
Tenant wants account access
Owner remains the primary account holder under Aurora’s landlord guidance.
Use official landlord resources before promising a tenant full account control.
Multiple properties
Wrong-account payment risk is higher.
Use the customer portal’s multi-account management carefully and verify service addresses.
