Commercial Plumbing in Parker, CO

What to expect on the call

The number on this page puts you in touch with an independent local plumber who handles commercial jobs in Parker. Explain the type of business, which fixtures or lines are affected and whether water is shut off. If the space can't close during the day, ask about early or after-hours scheduling. Have a recent water bill nearby, since it shows which district serves the property.

For a water heater swap, a fixture relocation or plumbing alteration inside town limits, the plumber will likely mention a permit. The Town's Building Division requires permits for water heater and furnace replacements and for plumbing alterations, filed online through eTRAKiT.

• The number of fixtures, restrooms or units affected

Parker's water and sewer picture

Parker Water and Sanitation District, PWSD, serves the town and nearby areas, but it isn't part of town government and not every Parker address is inside it. The Parker Chronicle reports that Stroh and Hess Ranch residents are outside PWSD, and The Pinery to the south is served by Pinery Water and Wastewater District. PWSD's supply mixes Denver Basin wells, Cherry Creek and Newlin Gulch water stored in Rueter-Hess Reservoir and treated with ceramic membranes, and WISE water treated by Aurora. It uses chloramine, and its report lists average hardness of 108 ppm. PWSD notes that red or discolored water can come from natural iron and manganese in its wells. Wastewater is treated at PWSD's North Water Reclamation Facility.

The district's cross-connection program is state-required. PWSD takes test reports only from ABPA- or ASSE-certified testers with calibrated kits, submitted through its online portal, and requires more advanced backflow devices for industrial and commercial operations. Questions go to 720-842-4273. Douglas County, not the town, issues permits for unincorporated areas such as The Pinery and Stonegate. Gas utility details weren't confirmed for the town, so check the name on your gas bill.
