Cherry Hills Village homes are served by Denver Water or one of more than a dozen small water districts, so a household well pump is not something the city's records show. If you do have well equipment, a plumber can test it; otherwise a pressure problem usually lies in the service line, the regulator or the district's main. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Cherry Hills Village.
Symptoms people mistake for pump failure
- Pressure that slowly fades over weeks
- Strong flow at one end of the house and a trickle at the other
- Water hammer or humming in the walls
- A soggy patch on the lawn that never dries
- The water meter spinning with every fixture closed
On a private well these would raise questions about the pump, switch and tank. In Cherry Hills Village, where homes take water from a public main, they point toward a regulator, a buried leak or old piping.
A patchwork of water providers
Cherry Hills Village is a low-density residential city just south of Denver, and its water comes from a long list of providers. Denver Water lists the city 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 and South University Place water districts, Cherry Hills North Metro District, several small water and sanitation districts and Englewood Utilities.
For a homeowner this means two things. First, there's no pump of your own in the system, so pressure trouble is a plumbing or service line question. Second, the right utility to call depends on the address. Denver Water's emergency line is 303-628-6801; Southgate asks its customers to call 303-779-0261 first.
The large lots here can mean long service lines between the street and the house, and a slow leak on a long line can drain pressure without leaving obvious puddles. Sewer is a separate matter: Cherry Hills Village Sanitation District is its own entity, not part of the city.
What the work may cost depends on
- Finding the cause: regulator, fixture, internal piping or buried service line
- Length and depth of the line from the street
- Restoring mature landscaping, drives or hardscape after digging
- Any well equipment you do have, if a pump or tank is involved
- Permits: plumbing outside the scope of a main building permit needs its own City permit
