Water in Cherry Hills Village

Water service here is a patchwork. Denver Water lists the City of Cherry Hills Village as a Total Service distributor, meaning Denver Water owns, operates and maintains that system. The city's provider list also names Southgate Water and Sanitation District, Cherrymoor, Charlou Park, Holly Mutual, South University Place, Cherry Hills North Metro District, and the Devonshire Heights, Hillcrest and Mansfield Heights water and sanitation districts, plus Englewood Utilities. Your bill tells you which one you have.

For Denver Water and Southgate customers, Denver Water's 2026 report lists a quarterly average hardness of about 105 ppm, ranging from about 55 to 124. That is moderately hard. We did not verify water quality for the smaller districts, so if you are on one of them, ask for its report or have your tap tested.

In a low-density community of large homes, moderate hardness adds up. More bathrooms, more fixtures and more hot water mean more surfaces collecting scale, which is why softeners are common in bigger houses even where the water is not especially hard.

Cost depends on

• Household water use, which sets unit capacity or calls for twin tanks
• Number of water heaters and whether they are tankless
• Bypassing large irrigation systems
• Main line location and finished space around it
• Carbon filtration or drinking-water systems added at the same time
• City permit for plumbing work outside a larger project

After you dial

You will be connected with an independent plumber who works in Cherry Hills Village. Share which provider bills your water and roughly how many bathrooms and heaters the home has. The city's Building Division lets plumbing work ride under a main building permit when it is part of a larger project; otherwise it needs its own permit, applied for through the city's online portal. If you are planning a remodel, folding the softener into that permit and that construction schedule is often the simplest route, since walls and floors are already open.
