Water Line Repair in Bennett, CO

When you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Bennett; Plumber Denver CO isn't a plumbing company. Be ready to say whether you're on Town water, where the water is appearing and whether pressure dropped throughout the house. The plumber will typically check the meter, trace the line and listen for the leak, then explain whether a repair or a new line fits.

What affects the price

• Run length. Larger plains lots can have long service lines.
• Repair scope. One fitting versus a new line.
• Freeze damage. Split pipe may require more than one section.
• Surface restoration. Driveways, fences and lawn add work.
• Permits. The Town of Bennett Building Department reviews applications and inspects work.

Bennett conditions

Bennett is a small eastern-plains town on the I-70 corridor, about 25 minutes from Denver International Airport, and it straddles Adams and Arapahoe counties. The Town draws water from 11 wells in the Denver Basin aquifers and runs its own Water Resource Recovery Facility for sewer. Inside town limits, the Town is your water provider; Public Works is at 303.644.3249 extension 1014. The 80102 ZIP code also covers unincorporated land outside town where service wasn't verified, so check your bill if you're outside the limits.

The Town's published pages don't say exactly where its responsibility for the service line ends. In general the pipe on the house side of the meter is the owner's, but call Public Works before digging if water is surfacing at the meter. The Town keeps a service line material inventory and will share a copy on request.

Housing here is young: the median home was built in 2000, and a large share of homes went up since then. That means most leaks come from a fitting letting go, soil settling or a line damaged during landscaping or fencing, not from old pipe. The Building Department is at 207 Muegge Way, (303) 644-3249.

Quick checklist

• Know where the main shutoff is and that it works.
• Confirm you're inside town limits and on Town water.
• Mark the wet spot and note when it showed up.
• Clear snow or debris away from the meter pit.
