Access to safe and reliable utilities services has been one of the hallmarks of Fort Collins living for more than a century. In the 1880s, soon after Fort Collins was established, the city's citizens and public officials became adamant about creating a system to provide the community with dependable water, sewer and power. Concerns about typhoid fever, coupled with two devastating downtown fires in two years, led to the creation of the city's first waterworks in 1882. Fort Collins Light and Power Company organized in 1887 to provide an electric lighting system. A city sewer system was underway in 1888, with five sewer districts formed by ordinance in 1891.
As Fort Collins continued to grow, bolstered by a successful farming community and the reputation of the town's new agricultural college, utilities infrastructure grew along with it. The city established a Public Works department, and in the early 1900s, obtained senior water rights and built the Poudre Canyon Treatment Plant. A municipal electric utility wholly owned by citizens, Fort Collins Electric Utility, was created by public vote in 1935. In 1938, city ordinance created the Department of Utilities.
