Income-Qualified Assistance Program (IQAP)#
Fort Collins Utilities partners with LEAP to save you more money on your utility bill. IQAP is a reduced electric, water and/or wastewater rate that provides 23% off certain components of these services.
Leap Into More Savings#
You may qualify for IQAP if you received LEAP during the previous or current season and live in a household with an eligible Fort Collins Utilities electric, water and/or wastewater account.
IQAP lowers your utility bill so you can focus on other critical expenses.
You can benefit from money-saving opportunities beyond the reduced rate through free home efficiency and educational activities by dedicating about two hours of your time a year.
Once your application is approved, the IQAP rate will go into effect within four to eight weeks, based on your bill cycle.
