Sewer System Maintenance

Professionally certified frontline staff work to implement a proactive sewer maintenance program. The goal is to reduce health hazards, property damage, extensive repairs and cleaning costs associated with damage caused by sewer backups. Crews also are available for emergency response to ensure the city's sewer collection system operates as designed. The maintenance program is in place to significantly reduce the possibility of sewer pump lift station failures or sanitary sewer backups.  The program provides the City with a sewer collection system that is dependable and clear of obstruction while protecting our citizens, business owners and our environment.

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG

Please remember to call the Utility Notification Center of Colorado for locates at 800-922-1987 at least two days "Before you Dig". Visit the Utility Notification Center of Colorado website. Many utility lines are located underground (Electric, Cable TV, Fiber optic, Telephone, Water, Sewer, Gas/Oil).

REPORTING SEWER PROBLEMS

A sewer line clog can be a stressful experience, particularly if you are not sure who to call. The Utilities Maintenance Division is here to assist you. We can be reached by calling 303-655-2068 during regular operating hours.

AFTER normal business hours, on weekends, or holidays, residents may call the After Hours Emergencies number at 303-806-5970 to report a problem. An on-call employee will respond to assist you.

Sanitary sewer line mains are the responsibility of the City to repair. The wye (connection to the sewer main) and all service line from the main to the home is the responsibility of the property owner. Any sewer line backup or clog from the sewer main to the house will be the responsibility of the property owner. The City cannot repair a break or clog if it is on the homeowner side. If the problem is on the City's side, the City will make the necessary repairs.
