What happens when you call

You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who works in Parker. Expect a few questions about which drains back up, how often, and whether the line has been cleared before. Before quoting a replacement, the plumber will usually put a camera through the cleanout to find the material, depth and location of each defect, and to see whether a trenchless method could reuse the old route.

Permits depend on where you live. The Town of Parker Building Division handles permits and inspections inside town and requires them for plumbing alterations; applications go through its eTRAKiT portal, and the office is at 20120 E Mainstreet, 303-841-0353. Unincorporated areas such as The Pinery and Stonegate go through the Douglas County Building Division instead.

Parker's sewer districts

Parker Water and Sanitation District is a water and wastewater utility unaffiliated with the Town of Parker. Its North Water Reclamation Facility treats wastewater and discharges to Cherry Creek. Not every Parker address is inside PWSD: the Parker Chronicle reports that Stroh and Hess Ranch residents are outside its boundaries, and Pinery Water and Wastewater District provides sewer in The Pinery. The district on your bill is the one to ask about the main and its connection rules. PWSD's office line is 303-841-4627.

Parker incorporated in 1981 and has grown fast, so many homes have plastic sewer pipe. Failures in those lines tend to come from settling soil, a poorly bedded joint or damage during later landscaping or construction, and they are sometimes limited to one section. Older homes near the original town center are more likely to have aging pipe that has worn along its whole length.

Sewer Line Replacement questions in Parker

How do I find out which district handles sewer at my address?

Look at your bill. Most of Parker is in Parker Water and Sanitation District, but The Pinery is served by Pinery Water and Wastewater District and some neighborhoods, such as Stroh and Hess Ranch, are outside PWSD.

Who issues the permit for a sewer line replacement here?

Inside town limits, the Town of Parker Building Division through eTRAKiT. In unincorporated areas like The Pinery and Stonegate, the Douglas County Building Division.

Why would a fairly new home need its sewer line replaced?

Plastic sewer lines in Parker's newer neighborhoods can sag where soil settles, crack under loads or be damaged by later digging.

Can a sewer line be replaced without trenching across the whole yard?

Often, if the line still holds its slope. Pipe bursting or lining can work through small pits; a line with a sag or collapse usually needs a trench.
