1. How do I sign up for water, sewer, and trash removal services?

The Town of New Castle provides water, sewer and trash removal services to our residents. New homeowners should complete an Application for Utility Services as soon as possible after closing on the purchase of a new home. The Town does not require a deposit, but a $10.00 transfer fee will be collected at your real estate closing. For new homeowners, responsibility for services begins on the date of ownership and amounts will be prorated for partial months.

Submit the completed application to the Town Clerk's office. You may:
1. Mail the application to P O Box 90, New Castle, CO 81647;
2. Drop off the application at the Town Clerk's Office at Town Hall at 450 West Main Street;
3. E-mail it to Mindy Gulliksen; or
4. Fax it to (970)984-2716, Attn: Mindy

For rental property owners, please be aware that the Municipal Code requires that water and sewer service remain in the name of the property owner. As a convenience to you, and with your written permission, a tenant may be added to your account as a co-signer and receive the utility bill in his or her name. Responsibility for payment of all amounts due, however, remains with the property owner. A Tenant Agreement Form completed by the owner will authorize the Town to send the monthly bills to your tenant. There is a $5.00 administrative charge for this service.

Submit the completed Tenant Agreement to the Town Clerk's office. You may:
1. Mail the form to P O Box 90, New Castle, CO 81647;
2. Drop off the form at the Town Clerk's Office at Town Hall at 450 West Main Street;
3. E-mail it to Mindy Gulliksen; or
4. Fax it to (970)984-2716, Attn: Mindy
