How water reaches Mead homes

The Town of Mead does not run its own drinking water utility. Water comes from either Little Thompson Water District or Longs Peak Water District, depending on the address, and the town does not publish which district serves which neighborhoods. Both districts draw on Carter Lake storage: Little Thompson treats Colorado-Big Thompson water at the Carter Lake Filter Plant, and Longs Peak treats its supply at its own Kugel Plant. Each publishes an annual water quality report, which is the place to look up details for your tap.

Sewer is split too. The Town of Mead provides it for most subdivisions, while St. Vrain Sanitation District serves Liberty Ranch and parts of Sekich Business Park in the south. That matters if water backs up from a sink drain rather than leaking from the faucet itself; St. Vrain's sewer emergency line is 303-994-7572.

In Little Thompson areas, the district maintains the line from the main to the meter pit, and everything on the house side of the meter is the owner's, including every faucet. Little Thompson answers its line, (970) 532-2096, day or night. Longs Peak Water District is at 303-776-3847. Most Mead homes are in newer subdivisions with single-lever cartridge faucets, while Old Town Mead has older houses where two-handle fixtures and long-unused stops still turn up. Permits go through the Town of Mead Building Division, with inspections by SAFEbuilt.

Seasonal timing

Winter on the Weld County plains is hard on outdoor spigots. A hose left connected can trap water that freezes and splits the bib, and the leak may not show until spring. Disconnect hoses in fall. Indoor repairs can be handled any time of year.

Faucet Repair questions in Mead

My pull-down kitchen faucet leaks or will not retract. Can that be repaired?

Usually. The hose, quick-connect and counterweight are all replaceable. If the faucet is newer, the maker may cover the parts under warranty.

How can I tell if water in the sink cabinet is from the faucet or the drain?

Dry the cabinet, then run water with the drain plugged. Water that appears is from the supply side; water that appears only while draining is from the drain. A drain problem may involve the town sewer or St. Vrain Sanitation District.

My outdoor spigot started leaking after a freeze. What happened?

Water trapped in the bib or the pipe behind it froze and cracked it. Leaving a hose attached on a cold night is the usual cause.

Can I buy my own faucet and have a plumber install it?

Usually. Check the hole layout on your sink and give the plumber the model so they can bring matching supply lines.
