Summer can look a little different on your electric bill.

From July through October, Loveland's residential electric usage rate is about 4 cents higher per kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared with November through June. This has also been an unseasonably hot summer, with 22 days in August alone reaching at least 90 degrees, including seven days at or above 100.

These higher-than-usual temperatures can increase electricity use as air conditioners work harder to cool homes and businesses. Together, higher usage and the seasonal rate can have a noticeable effect on your bill.

If you've noticed a higher bill this summer, we have a breakdown of how summer rates work, what to look for on your bill and resources that may help you manage your energy use.

August is Water Quality Month, and wildfire preparedness helps protect the water we all rely on.

City of Loveland Utilities monitors our watershed year‑round and uses real-time data to keep drinking water safe before, during and after wildfires. Crews and partners also restore burned areas to reduce runoff, ash and debris from entering local streams and reservoirs.

Strong wildfire readiness means cleaner, more reliable water for our community.
