Parker Water and Sanitation District serves most of Parker, but it's a separate special district from the Town, and some neighborhoods are served by others, such as Pinery Water and Wastewater District. A leak on the line across your property is generally a private repair, and plumbing alterations in town need a Town of Parker permit. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Parker.
What happens when you call
Your call is routed to an independent local plumber who works in Parker; this site makes the connection and nothing more. The plumber will want to know where the water is appearing, whether pressure dropped throughout the house and which water district bills you. Expect a meter check with everything off, a listen along the route and possibly electronic locating. Once the leak is found, you'll get a recommendation on repairing a section or replacing the line.
What sets the cost
- Run length and depth. Parker lots vary widely, and longer runs need more excavation.
- Repair or replace. A single bad fitting is far smaller than a new service.
- Obstacles. Driveways, retaining walls, trees and sprinkler systems add work.
- Entry point. Finished basements and slabs change how the new pipe enters.
- Jurisdiction. Town permits apply inside Parker; Douglas County covers areas such as The Pinery and Stonegate.
Parker conditions
Parker Water and Sanitation District (PWSD) is unaffiliated with the Town of Parker and serves the town and nearby communities, but not everyone. The Parker Chronicle reports Stroh and Hess Ranch residents are outside PWSD boundaries, and The Pinery, south of town, is served by Pinery Water and Wastewater District. Your water bill tells you which applies. PWSD's office line is 303-841-4627, open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
PWSD's water report says the district is inventorying every service line in its area to classify the material, as state and federal rules require. PWSD blends Denver Basin well water with surface water from Rueter-Hess Reservoir, and it notes that red or discolored water can come from naturally occurring iron and manganese in its wells. Don't mistake that for a failing service line on its own; a leak usually brings wet ground and pressure loss too.
Inside town limits, the Town of Parker Building Division requires permits for plumbing alterations, applied for through eTRAKiT (303-841-0353). Unincorporated areas use the Douglas County Building Division.
Before the plumber gets there
- Know where the main shutoff is and whether it closes fully.
- Check your bill so you can name your water district.
- Mark the wet spot and note when it appeared.
- Turn off irrigation so it doesn't mask the leak.
