Plumbers in Dacono, CO

A small city on I-25 and Highway 52

Coal miners settled Dacono in 1901, and the city was incorporated in 1908. Its name blends the names of three wives of local mine operators. Today it is a home rule city of 6,297 people (2020 Census) in southwest Weld County, about 22 miles from downtown Denver in a straight line. With Frederick and Firestone it makes up the Carbon Valley Tri-Towns, and State Highway 52 forms part of its boundary with Frederick. I-25 and Ridgeway Boulevard are the main roads, City Hall is at 512 Cherry Avenue, and the Colorado National Speedway short track is its best-known landmark.

Water from the City of Dacono

The City runs a water department under Public Works, with customer service through City Hall at 303-833-2317, extension 121. Central Weld County Water District also includes the Tri-Town area of Dacono, Firestone and Frederick in its domestic service area, but we could not confirm which Dacono addresses, if any, it serves directly. Your water bill shows which one you pay. For water quality details, ask your provider for its annual report.

Sewer through St. Vrain Sanitation District

St. Vrain Sanitation District serves Dacono along with Firestone, Frederick, parts of Mead and unincorporated Weld County within its boundaries. The district considers the building sewer, the line from your house to its main, part of your property. It keeps staff available 24 hours a day for sewer backups at (303) 776-9570. If wastewater is coming up through a floor drain or tub, call the district to find out whether the main is involved, then have a plumber deal with anything on your side.

Permits

Building permits in Dacono come from the City's Community Development department, which contracts its building services to SAFEbuilt. The permit technician and Community Development staff answer at 303-833-2317. The City lists water-heating equipment among work that triggers a permit, so plan on one for a water heater replacement. A plumber usually handles the paperwork as part of the job.

Gas leaks

Dacono is served by Black Hills Energy rather than Xcel. If you smell gas, leave the house, then call 911 and Black Hills Energy from outside. The emergency number is printed on your gas bill.

Everyday plumbing in Dacono

Most calls are the familiar ones: water heaters at the end of their life, running toilets, worn faucet cartridges, kitchen drain clogs and sewer backups. Northern Front Range winters bring hard freezes, so disconnect hoses, drain sprinkler lines in the fall and keep heat in rooms with plumbing on outside walls.

Dacono versus Denver

A Denver homeowner calls Denver Water, Denver's sewer utility and Xcel. In Dacono it is the City water department, St. Vrain Sanitation District and Black Hills Energy, with SAFEbuilt handling the City's building services.
