Northern Water took on the role of operating and maintaining the Colorado-Big Thompson Project in 1937. On Oct. 1, the water organization will increase the rates for municipalities and farmers. Longmont receives roughly 12,000 units from the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. It is only one source of water Longmont utilizes to bring water to the city. Northern Water raised the open rate for municipal and industrial water use to $53.60 per acre-foot unit which is a 6% increase over 2023 prices. According to Scott Rochat, public relations and marketing specialist for Longmont Power and Communications, the increase will have 'no immediate impact on Longmont.
