Dacono's sewer service comes from St. Vrain Sanitation District, which says the building sewer line belongs to the property, not the district. When that pipe clogs or breaks, a plumber makes the repair. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dacono.
Who fixes the sewer line at a Dacono home?
The property owner. St. Vrain Sanitation District, established in 1986, serves the City of Dacono along with Firestone, Frederick, parts of Mead and nearby unincorporated Weld County. The district maintains its mains and treatment plant and treats the building sewer line, the pipe from your house to its main, as belonging to the property. It keeps staff on call for sewer backups at 303-776-9570. If neighbors are backing up too, or sewage is coming from a manhole, call the district. If it's just your house, a plumber is the right first call.
How do I know it's the sewer line and not a single clog?
Look at how far the trouble reaches. One slow sink or a toilet that won't flush while everything else drains fine is usually a local clog. When the basement floor drain fills as the washer runs, toilets gurgle when the tub empties, or every drain in the house slows at once, the shared building sewer is restricted. Repeat clogs a few weeks after snaking also point to something in the pipe itself, such as roots, a crack, an offset joint or a sag that collects solids. A camera inspection shows which it is and where.
What kind of pipe is under my house?
Dacono was settled in 1901 by coal miners and is one of the Carbon Valley Tri-Towns, and it has grown with newer subdivisions in recent decades. Older homes near the original town may have clay or cast iron laterals, while newer neighborhoods typically have plastic pipe. Housing-age figures weren't available, so a camera is the reliable way to find out. Plastic resists roots and corrosion better, but it can sag where backfill settled or crack under a driveway.
Local note on permits
Dacono's building services are handled by Community Development with SAFEbuilt under contract; the permit technician and Community Development staff are at 303-833-2317. You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who serves Dacono and can confirm what permit a repair needs before work starts. Until then, keep water use to a minimum, and if the district has already checked its main, pass that along.
