In Castle Pines, wastewater service comes from Castle Pines North Metropolitan District, while The Village at Castle Pines to the south has its own district. A sewer line replacement covers the private pipe from your house to the district's main, and the City lists it as a 1-Stop permit. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Castle Pines.
Signs a sewer line should be replaced
- Recurring main-line clogs
- A basement drain filling when upstairs fixtures run
- Gurgling sounds from toilets and tubs
- Odor or a damp, sunken strip in the yard
- Camera footage showing a long sag, a collapse or damage at several joints
In a young community like Castle Pines, the problem is often a single sag or damaged section that can be repaired by itself. Replacement makes sense when the camera shows the line has failed along much of its length.
Castle Pines districts and housing
Castle Pines North Metropolitan District provides both drinking water and wastewater service to the City of Castle Pines; its number is (303) 688-8550. The Village at Castle Pines, which borders the city to the south, is served by a separate district, Castle Pines Village Metropolitan District. Check your bill to see which one serves you, and ask that district where its sewer responsibility ends, since the pages we reviewed don't state it.
Castle Pines incorporated in 2008 from the Castle Pines North community, so most homes are relatively new and have plastic sewer pipe. When those lines fail, it's usually from soil settling after construction, a poorly bedded joint, or damage from later work such as fences, landscaping or sprinkler lines. Sloped lots can also mean longer or deeper runs.
Cost drivers
- Length and depth of the line to the district main
- Trenchless or trench, depending on the slope
- Retaining walls, patios and landscaping over the route
- Whether a section repair will solve it instead of a full replacement
- City permit and inspection
