Cheyenne BOPU

Summer’s here, and so are the watering rules! Let’s keep the grass lush while being smart about our water use.

As the leaves change this fall, so do your water and sewer fees. Let’s break down what the new rates mean for your wallet.

The BOPU says that while the water is safe, it can cause discolored laundry.

BOPU Director Brad Brooks reveals changes to Cheyenne's water fees. Stay informed about the upcoming $3 and $2 base fee increases.

The release also advises against doing laundry or using hot water while the water is discolored.

Erin Lamb of the BOPU says the composition of most of the pipes is unknown, and so far only a few lead pipes have been found.

A Cheyenne street will close for about three days starting on Monday for a valve repair project.

With sub-zero temperatures, the BOPU is warning people to protect their pipes.
