Lone Tree's water depends on which side of I-25 you live on: Southgate Water and Sanitation Districts serve the west side with Denver Water, Parker Water and Sanitation District serves the east, and Northern Douglas County Water and Sanitation District serves part of Terra Ridge. None of that leaves a well pump at your house, and a plumber can repair the service line and plumbing you own. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Lone Tree.
Lone Tree's water providers
Lone Tree is a planned, newer city at the I-25 and C-470 junction, built around Park Meadows and the RidgeGate community. The city lists its providers by geography. West of I-25, Southgate distributes drinking water provided, treated and tested by Denver Water, with average hardness of about 105 ppm. East of I-25, Parker Water and Sanitation District is the provider. Some homes in Terra Ridge are served by Northern Douglas County Water and Sanitation District. All are piped public systems.
Southgate reminds property owners that they own the buried water service lines and sewer laterals serving their property, so a leak on that line is a private repair.
What to do now
- Know your side of I-25 and which district bills you.
- Call your district for an outage. Southgate is at 303-779-0261 for the west side.
- Check every fixture to see whether the problem is general or local.
- Inspect the regulator near the main for leaks or noise.
- Look for wet ground along the service line route.
Symptoms and likely causes
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Weak pressure throughout | Regulator or a service line leak |
| Spongy lawn over the line | Buried leak on the owner's line |
| No water | District work, a break or a closed valve |
| Pressure surging | Regulator failing |
| Water bill jump | Leak past the meter |
What affects the cost
- Regulator or valve replacement versus excavating the service line
- Depth and length of the line, plus hardscape and landscaping on top
- Sewer lateral repairs, also the owner's responsibility
- Permits: Lone Tree requires a permit for any work on plumbing systems, including replacement, though clearing stoppages or repairing drain and supply leaks typically doesn't need one
- Applications and inspection requests go through the city's Accela portal; the Building Division is at 720-390-5211
Mention your side of I-25 when you call so the plumber knows which district's rules and contacts apply.
Because Southgate makes owners responsible for the buried service line and sewer lateral, it pays to know where both run before new landscaping or hardscape goes in over them. A plumber can locate the lines and give you a sense of their depth and route if you're planning work in the yard.
