Hudson is a small farm town in southern Weld County, and our fact sheet doesn't confirm who supplies its water or sewer, so we won't guess. If you have a wellhead and pressure tank, the pump system is yours and a plumber can test it; if you get a water bill, the problem is in your plumbing. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Hudson.
Who supplies water in Hudson?
We don't know for certain, and we'd rather say so than invent an answer. Hudson is a statutory town of about 1,651 people at the crossroads of I-76, State Highway 52 and Weld County Road 49, and the Census classifies it as entirely rural. Our fact sheet has no verified water or sewer provider for it. Providers can vary by address, especially in rural areas, so the most reliable answer is on your water bill. If you don't have one, the Town of Hudson or Weld County can tell you what serves your property.
If there's no bill and you find a pressure tank in the basement, utility room or a well house, plus a capped casing in the yard, you're on a private well.
How do I tell a pump problem from a plumbing problem?
On a private well, the signs are specific: no water with the power on, a pressure switch that clicks rapidly, the tank gauge stuck low, air bursting from faucets, a breaker that trips when the pump starts, or a pump that runs and runs. Those point to the pump motor, the switch, the control box or the tank. On piped public water, there's no pump at your house, and a pressure drop more likely means a regulator, a partly closed valve or a leak somewhere past the meter. A plumber can tell which in a few minutes with a pressure gauge.
What changes the cost of a well repair?
Mostly which part failed. A pressure switch, capacitor or relay is a short visit. A waterlogged tank is a moderate job. A failed submersible motor means pulling the pump, and the deeper it sits, the more pipe and wire come up with it. Wiring damage between the house and wellhead, and access across a rural lot, add to the work. Testing the simple parts first keeps you from paying to pull a pump that was fine.
A local note
We couldn't verify which office handles plumbing permits in Hudson, so ask the Town or let the plumber confirm what applies to your address. Rural winters are cold, and a pump house or tank in an unheated building can freeze, so check heat and insulation before the first hard freeze.
