The City of Dacono runs its own Water Department under Public Works, with customer service at City Hall, so homes here are on city water rather than private wells. When pressure drops, a plumber can check the regulator, the line past the meter and the fixtures. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dacono.
Is there any chance my Dacono home has a well pump?
If you pay a Dacono water bill, no. The city runs a Water Department within Public Works, with a water utility lead and customer service through City Hall at 512 Cherry Avenue. Central Weld County Water District's domestic service area also includes the "Tri-town area" of Dacono, Firestone and Frederick, but we couldn't confirm which Dacono addresses, if any, it serves directly or whether the city buys treated water from it. Either way, that's public water delivered through a meter. The pumping, treatment and pressure come from the utility. Only a property with its own capped wellhead and pressure tank has a pump to worry about.
Then why is my water pressure low?
On city water, the common causes are a worn pressure regulator, a main shutoff that isn't fully open, a leak on the service line between the meter and the house, or clogged aerators and cartridges. Dacono mixes older homes from its coal-mining history, which began with miners settling here in 1901, with newer neighborhoods such as Eagle Meadow, so the likely culprit varies. Older homes are more prone to corroded pipe and stiff valves; newer ones more often have a regulator or fixture problem. A plumber can test pressure at a hose bib to see right away whether the supply or the house is the issue.
Who handles a leak or a sewer backup?
For a water problem on the city side, start with the Water Department at 303-833-2317, ext. 121. Sewer in Dacono is handled by St. Vrain Sanitation District, a separate district that treats the building sewer line as the property owner's responsibility and staffs a 24-hour line for backups at (303) 776-9570. Repairs on your side of either system are a plumber's job.
A local note
Dacono's building services are contracted to SAFEbuilt, with permit questions going to Community Development at 303-833-2317. Mention whether your house is in an older part of town or a newer subdivision when you call; it helps the plumber guess at pipe materials before arriving. If water is spraying, close the main shutoff first and then call.
