The Town of Firestone distributes treated water it buys from Central Weld County Water District and St. Vrain Water Authority, and Barefoot Lakes homes get water from Little Thompson Water District, so Firestone homes don't have well pumps. A plumber can trace pressure problems to the regulator, the line past the meter or the fixtures. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Firestone.
Firestone's water supply
Firestone is a fast-growing Carbon Valley town along I-25 in southwest Weld County, mostly newer subdivisions. The Town distributes water but has no treatment plant; it buys treated water from Central Weld County Water District, which draws surface water from Carter Lake with Dry Creek Reservoir and treats it at the Carter Lake Filter Plant, and from St. Vrain Water Authority's Gould Well. It's disinfected with chlorine, and Central Weld reports soft water, about 33 mg/L average hardness. In the Barefoot Lakes neighborhood, Little Thompson Water District provides the water instead.
A well appears in that supply chain, but it belongs to the water authority. Firestone homes receive water through a meter.
Steps to take now
- Check your bill to see whether the Town or Little Thompson serves you.
- Call the right utility for an outage. Town customers can use 720-652-4222 after hours or on weekends, or 303-833-3291 during the day.
- Compare fixtures to see whether low pressure is everywhere or in one spot.
- Look at the regulator and main shutoff near where the line enters.
- Shut the main valve if you find a leak inside.
What the symptom probably means
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Weak pressure everywhere | Regulator or a service line leak |
| Weak at one faucet | Debris in the aerator or cartridge |
| No water at all | Utility outage or a closed valve |
| Pressure too high | Regulator failing open |
| Meter moving with taps closed | Hidden leak |
What affects the price
- Regulator, valve or fixture work versus excavation
- Line length and depth in newer subdivisions with finished landscaping
- Backflow preventer work, which carries its own Town permit
- Tankless water heater changes with new gas piping, which need plan review
- Permits from the Firestone Building Division at 9950 Park Ave.
Sewer in Firestone is handled by St. Vrain Sanitation District, which treats the building sewer line as the property's responsibility, so drain problems are a separate call.
Many Firestone homes are recent builds, and new plumbing has its own weak points: a pressure regulator set too high or too low at construction, a fitting that loosens over the first few seasons, or debris from new lines lodging in aerators. A plumber can check each of these quickly, often without opening walls.
