Plumbers in Greenwood Village, CO

Arapahoe County, about 10 miles south of downtown

Greenwood Village is a home rule city in Arapahoe County, incorporated in 1950, with 15,691 residents in 2020. Its center is about 10 miles from downtown Denver in a straight line along I-25. Part of the Denver Technological Center lies inside the city, along with many corporate headquarters, Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre and the Cherry Creek Schoolhouse, and residential neighborhoods fill the land around them. I-225, Belleview Avenue and Yosemite Street cross the city.

Several water providers in one city

The City tells residents to look up their water provider on its Water Districts Map, because the answer changes from street to street. Denver Water lists the City of Greenwood Village as a Total Service distributor, meaning Denver Water owns, operates and maintains that system. Southgate Water District serves other parts of the city as a Denver Water read-and-bill distributor. Cherry Creek Village Water District covers the area from Belleview Avenue to I-225 and Yosemite Street to Fulton Street under a Denver Water master meter contract. In each case the water itself is Denver Water's mountain supply.

Useful numbers: Denver Water emergencies 303-628-6801 and Customer Care 303-893-2444; Southgate Water District 303-779-0261; Cherry Creek Village Water District 303-381-4960. Sewer is just as mixed. The City's Sanitation Districts Map shows whether you are in the Greenwood Village Sewer G.I.D., Southgate Sanitation District or another district.

Who owns the pipe

In Denver Water areas, the property owner owns and pays for the service line, including all pipe and fittings up to and including the stop and waste valve, plus the meter pit and meter. Denver Water maintains the mains. In Southgate's area the owner is likewise responsible for the service line and owns the meter. That is why a leak in the yard between the street and the house is usually a plumber's job here. Where Denver Water's backflow rules apply, assemblies are tested at installation and every year by a certified tester, and single-family homes are assessed by site hazard; whether a particular district follows the same program should be confirmed with that district.

Permits and contractor licensing

City of Greenwood Village Community Development, Building Permits and Inspections, lists water heater replacement and plumbing work among residential projects that need a permit. Applications go through the City's Online Access Portal, and staff answer at 303-486-5783. Plumbers working in the city also need a Greenwood Village contractor license, so ask the plumber you are connected with to confirm theirs.

Gas: Xcel Energy

Xcel Energy supplies gas here. If you smell gas, get everyone out first, then call 911 and Xcel's gas emergency line at 1-800-895-2999 from a safe distance.

How it differs from Denver

Many Denver homes deal with one water utility and one sewer utility. In Greenwood Village you may need to check two maps before you know who to call, and permits come from the City rather than Denver CPD. When you call the number on this page, describe the problem and whether the main valve is closed, and you will be connected with an independent plumber who works in Greenwood Village. Cost and scheduling are worked out with that plumber.
