Keenesburg's water and faucets

Keenesburg is a small statutory town in southern Weld County that runs its own well-based water system and wastewater treatment facility. Public Works supplies and treats groundwater from town wells, seven of them listed in the most recent report, and disinfects it with chlorine. Public Works also reads and maintains meters. The report does not state hardness, so the plumber will judge whether minerals are involved by looking at the parts. Groundwater systems can carry fine sediment, so an aerator that clogs or a cartridge that stiffens is worth mentioning on the call.

The town is completing a service line inventory required by state and federal law, and residents can request a copy. Inside the house, faucets, stops and supply lines are the owner's to maintain. For after-hours water emergencies outside the house, the Public Works on-call line is 720-753-8209; Town Hall is 303-732-4281. Outlying rural homes may not be on the town system, so if you have a private well, tell the plumber.

Permits go through the Town of Keenesburg Building Department. Water heater replacements and lawn sprinkler backflow preventers are listed as One-Stop permits, usually issued the same day. A simple faucet repair rarely needs a permit, but the plumber can confirm.

What affects the cost

• Rebuild or replace. New seals or a cartridge cost less than a new faucet.
• Sediment or scale. Clogged parts take extra time to clean or swap.
• Under-sink hardware. Old stops and supply hoses are often replaced too.
• Travel. Keenesburg is farther out than most metro towns.
