Cold Weather Still Possible!
Don’t let the warm weather trick you into turning on the sprinkler system or leaving the hose connected to the house. Wintertime watering is important, especially during the dry spells we have had lately. However, historic average temperatures in the Denver area will show that the odds are in favor of having a very cold snap before we reach spring. Each year that we have a warm stretch of weather in the winter some homeowners forget to remove the hose from the hose bib or they turn the sprinkler system on and the cold temperatures will cause piping to freeze and then break. Many field service calls occur each year to assist homeowners in turning off leaking pipes that cause damage to equipment and basements. In extreme cold weather leave cabinets open to allow for warm air to circulate and leaving a distant faucet dripping slightly, will prevent a problem. Additional cold weather tips can be found at www.denverwater.org under the “Water Service and Support” tab.
District to Upgrade Billing System in 2012.
In 2012 Bancroft-Clover Water and Sanitation District will change the billing software the District has used for over 15 years. The new system will allow for customers to access their accounts on line, to check current water usage, or to see water and sewer billing information. The system will also allow for credit card payments as well as one time automatic payments to be initiated by customers. This new billing software will also link to the Districts new GIS program to instantly connect to a database of information that will improve efficiency in many areas of office and field operations. Please look for changes in 2012!
Denver Water Rebates Available for Residential and Commercial Customers in 2012
The water saving device rebate program has been funded for 2012. The purchase of qualifying high efficiency clothes washers, high efficiency toilets (1.28 gallons per flush), rotary nozzles, and weather-based smart controllers are eligible for a rebate paid directly to Bancroft-Clover customers by Denver Water. Some rebates have been changed for 2012 so check the information before purchasing items! Forms and receipts must be delivered to the Bancroft-Clover Water and Sanitation District office for verification and forwarding to Denver Water for processing. Complete program information including specific model eligibility and forms are available at www.denverwater.org under the conservation tab. Bancroft-Clover customers were among the leaders of suburban water users in the amount of rebates received in 2011.
Save Time and Postage in 2012!
Join the Bancroft-Clover Water and Sanitation District’s Automatic Payment Program. The program can save time paying bills and will prevent the account from ever having a late fee. There is no charge for the program and customers will even save on postage. A bill is sent to all District customers with detailed water use information. Customers will be advised of the specific date when the automatic payment will be deducted from their account. If there are any questions on the monthly billing customers may call the District office prior to the payment.
Reminder: the District does not take credit card or over the phone payments.
Thank you to the District customers that participate in the program!
