Construction/Hydrant/Temporary Water

Starting June 1, many City and County of Broomfield services will offer walk-in, by appointment, or virtual services —or all three—for the convenience and safety of residents. Please note many, if not all, services are also available online via self-service, or over the phone. 

Access facility hours, online services and ways to make appointments at Broomfield.org/FindMyService

Effective April 03, 2017

Contractors are required to supply their own equipment. The City and County of Broomfield no longer supplies water meters for any events or construction jobs.
