Well Pump Repair in Bennett, CO

What happens when you call

This is a free referral service, not a plumbing company. Your call reaches an independent local plumber who works in the Bennett area. Say whether you're on Town water or a private well, whether water is off completely and whether anything changed recently. For Town-side problems, Bennett Public Works is at 303.644.3249 ext. 1014.

On a private well, the plumber will check the breaker, the pressure switch, the tank's air charge and the pump's current draw. On Town water, they'll test pressure, check the regulator and look for leaks between the meter and the house.

What changes the cost

• For wells: which part failed and how deep the pump is set
• For wells: tank and control box condition
• For Town water: regulator, valve or service line repair
• Distance from the street on larger lots
• Backflow assemblies, which the Town requires to be tested by a Town-recognized certified tester before a certificate of occupancy

Bennett's water picture

Bennett is a small plains town on the I-70 corridor, about 25 minutes from Denver International Airport, with a large share of homes built since 2000; the median build year is 2000. The Town supplies, treats and delivers its own water. Its source is groundwater from 11 town wells in Adams County drawing on the Denver Basin aquifers, disinfected with chlorine. The Town also runs its own sewer plant, the Water Resource Recovery Facility.

Those wells and pumps are the Town's. A home inside town limits receives treated water through a meter and has no well equipment to repair. If pressure drops there, the cause is usually a regulator, a valve or a leak on your side.

The 80102 ZIP reaches well beyond town limits into unincorporated Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert County land, where service wasn't verified. If your property is out there and has a wellhead and a pressure tank, you own a private well system, and it's the pump, switch, tank and wiring that need attention when water stops. Newer houses don't guarantee newer well equipment, so ask the plumber to check the age of each part.

Inside town, the Bennett Building Department at 207 Muegge Way, (303) 644-3249, reviews permits and enforces the 2024 International Codes, including the plumbing code.
