Many utilities providers offer programs to assist households when they cannot pay their bills on time. Companies may offer a payment plan or temporary discount on your bill if you can pay some, but not all, of what you owe. Some companies also work with local non-profits to provide additional financial assistance to qualifying households. 

LEAP: The Colorado Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is a federally funded program that helps eligible hard-working Colorado families, seniors and individuals pay a portion of their winter home heating costs (November through April). The energy assistance benefit is paid directly to the household energy supplier. If your income is up to 60% of the state median income level, you may qualify for heating assistance through LEAP.

Water Assistance for LEAP participants - CDHS received additional funding from the federal government to assist low-income households with their water services. People must be approved for LEAP during the November 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023, season and pay drinking water bills or waste water or sewer water bills directly to the water service provider. Services must be disconnected, facing disconnection, or have a past due amount on the bill.
