Henderson's water situation

Henderson is a small unincorporated Adams County community with a post office dating to 1894 and a few older buildings along Brighton Road. Much of the surrounding land has been annexed by Commerce City, Brighton and Thornton, which makes water service a patchwork. Annexed parcels may be served by South Adams County Water and Sanitation District, Brighton or Thornton, and a small district, Hazeltine Heights Water and Sanitation District, also provides domestic water from Henderson. Which provider serves a given home could not be confirmed, so providers vary by address. Your water bill will tell you, or Adams County can help.

Because no single provider covers Henderson, there is no one water report or hardness figure to rely on. The plumber will look at the faucet parts for scale or sediment rather than assume. If your home has a private well, say so on the call.

Permits depend on the address too. Unincorporated areas use the Adams County One Stop Permitting Center, while annexed parcels fall under Commerce City, Brighton or Thornton. A like-for-like faucet repair rarely raises the question, but the plumber can tell you if your job needs one.

What affects the cost

• Rebuild or replace. New seals or a cartridge cost less than a whole faucet.
• Parts. Common brands are easy; older or unbranded faucets may not be worth fixing.
• Under the sink. Old stops and supply lines are often replaced at the same time.
• Scale or sediment. Clogged parts take longer to clean or replace.

When you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who covers Henderson. Mention which faucet is failing, where the water appears and who supplies your water if you know. A photo of the faucet and the shutoffs underneath helps the plumber come prepared. If the stop valves will not close, find the main shutoff first so the water can be turned off quickly if the leak gets worse.
