Parker Water and Sanitation District, a special district separate from the Town of Parker, supplies most Parker homes, with other providers such as Pinery Water and Wastewater District serving some neighborhoods. Part of PWSD's water comes from Denver Basin aquifer wells, but those pumps belong to the district, and a plumber can handle the plumbing on your side. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Parker.
What happens on the call
This site is a free referral service, not a plumbing company. Calling connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Parker. Tell them which district bills you, whether the water is off or just weak, and whether you've noticed red or discolored water. If you're on a private well, mention that too, along with what the tank gauge shows.
On district water, the plumber will typically test pressure at a hose bib, inspect the regulator and check for leaks between the meter and the house. That separates district problems from private plumbing quickly.
What drives the cost
- Which part failed: regulator, valve, fixture or service line
- How deep the line is buried and what's on top of it
- Whether sediment or discoloration has fouled filters, aerators or the water heater
- Water treatment equipment you want added or serviced
- Town of Parker permits for plumbing alterations
Parker's water sources
PWSD serves the Town of Parker and nearby communities, but not every Parker resident is in the district: the Parker Chronicle reports that Stroh and Hess Ranch residents are outside PWSD boundaries, and The Pinery to the south is served by Pinery Water and Wastewater District. So the provider depends on your address.
PWSD's supply blends three sources. Denver Basin aquifer groundwater wells are treated for iron and manganese. Cherry Creek and Newlin Gulch water is stored in Rueter-Hess Reservoir and treated at the Rueter-Hess Water Purification Facility, the first in the country to use large-scale ceramic membrane filtration for drinking water. WISE partnership water is treated by Aurora. The water is disinfected with chloramine and averages about 108 ppm hardness.
PWSD notes that red or discolored water can come from naturally occurring iron and manganese in its well water. That's a district water quality matter, not a sign your house has a failing pump. If it persists, contact PWSD at 303-841-4627. If discoloration clogs aerators or stains fixtures, a plumber can help with filters and cleanup.
The Town of Parker Building Division requires permits for plumbing alterations, applied for through eTRAKiT; Douglas County covers unincorporated areas such as The Pinery and Stonegate.
Before the plumber arrives
- Note which district appears on your water bill
- Run a cold tap for a few minutes to see whether discoloration clears
- Check whether low pressure affects every fixture
- Locate your main shutoff and meter
- Write down when the problem started
