Dacono was settled by coal miners in 1901 and has grown into one of the Carbon Valley Tri-Towns, so its homes range from older houses in the original town to newer subdivisions. Repiping fits the older homes or any house where a pipe material keeps failing. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dacono.

Which Dacono homes are most likely to need it?
Dacono sits along I-25 and State Highway 52 in southwest Weld County. It was settled in 1901 by coal miners, and its name combines the names of three wives of local mine operators. The fact sheet does not include a usable year-built breakdown, so it cannot say what share of homes still have original pipe. As a rule, older houses near the original town are where galvanized steel or long-serving copper is most likely, while newer neighborhoods such as Eagle Meadow usually need repairs rather than a repipe. If you are not sure when your house was built, county property records or your closing papers will tell you.
Signs that point toward replacement include leaks in several rooms over a short span, corrosion at copper fittings, weak flow at most fixtures and discolored water at the first draw.
Who supplies my water?
The City of Dacono runs its own water department under Public Works, with customer service through City Hall at 512 Cherry Avenue. Central Weld County Water District's service area also includes the Tri-Town area of Dacono, Firestone and Frederick, but the research for this site could not confirm which Dacono addresses, if any, it serves directly. Your water bill will say. The fact sheet also does not spell out where the city's responsibility for the service line ends, so ask the plumber to confirm with the city before any yard line is added to the job.
Sewer is handled by St. Vrain Sanitation District, which treats the building sewer line as the owner's responsibility. That does not affect a supply repipe directly, but it is useful to know if drain work is also on your list.
What permits are needed?
Building services in Dacono are contracted to SAFEbuilt through City of Dacono Community Development, and the permit technician can be reached at 303-833-2317. The plumber should confirm what a repipe requires and file the application before work starts.
A Carbon Valley note
Because Dacono, Firestone and Frederick sit side by side and share some utilities, it is easy to assume one town's rules apply in another. They do not. Permits, service line rules and water providers are set separately, so start with your own bill and the City of Dacono.
