Soil Amendment for ALL New Taps Required

Before Willowbrook Water & Sanitation District and Denver Water will set new meters, property owners must amend their soil with compost so the soil more efficiently retains water. This rule applies to all new residential, commercial, government and industrial properties within the District.

Click here for more information.

Importance of Soil Amendment:

Amending your soil with compost has multiple benefits:

  • Organic matter (compost) particles can hold moisture in the soil for extended periods, allowing water to be available to plants over a longer period of time.

  • Compost can provide small amounts of the key nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K) and also increases microbial activity, which improves plant root growth.

  • Compost also “opens” clay soils allowing better drainage and “closes” sandy soils preventing water from leaching away too quickly.

Program Description:

  • The soil preparation requirement is four (4) cubic yards of approved amendment product per 1,000 square feet of permeable area.

  • The soil amendment product must be incorporated or rototilled to a depth of four to six inches.

  • Site shall be raked smooth and finish grades established; rocks and debris over 1-inch diameter that may interfere with planting and maintenance operations shall be removed.

Payment by Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Debit)

We now accept credit card payments using Visa, Mastercard and Discover.  Please call the office if you'd like to pay your bill using this method.  We do not have recurring credit card payments; however, once in the system you would simply need to call each month with the amount you want to charge.

Automatic Withdrawal (checking or savings)

If you want your payment to automatically come out of your checking or savings account each month, please print our ACH form and return it to the office.  Attach a voided check and make sure you sign the form.  Our office must receive the form before you are billed in order for it to withdraw the funds. Your remittance will let you know if you've been set up and will say "paid by autowithdrawl". 

Online Payments

There has been some confusion with customers when they make online payments through their bank.  It has been assumed that our office gets the payment electronically once the customer makes a payment online. When a customer uses their computer to make a payment through their bank, the bank has a designated number of days (usually 5-7 business days) before they issue a check and mail it to our office.  It is not done electronically and goes through the postal system.

If you need to rush your payment, please either call to make a phone payment or use the drop slot in our door. 

 

 

Rebates for Conservation

Please note that Willowbrook customer's qualify for Denver Water's Rebate Programs. 

Residential customers who receive water from Denver Water or a Denver Water distributor can qualify for rebates by replacing inefficient fixtures, devices and appliances with more efficient qualifying models. Rebates are available all year for purchases made between Jan. 1, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2010.

Many utility and service companies have temporary and permanent lines buried as little as 6" underground.  Property owners are obligated to schedule locates before putting shovel to dirt.  The Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC) will provide you with a list of utility and service companies that you can call and arrange for service line locates on your property.  Please contact UNCC at (800) 922-1987, or visit their web site at www.uncc.org.
