Town of Erie
Plumber Erie CO
Erie can review a water heater or a sewer repair in one to two business days. A new water or sewer tap is on a one-to-two-week list. Contractors need an Erie license.
Quick versus planned
The town's permit table lists water heaters, minor plumbing, and sewer or water repair as quick permits at one to two business days. A new sewer, water, or irrigation tap is one to two weeks. A residential addition is four to six weeks for first comments. Contractors need a current town license and insurance on file before issuance. The office is at 645 Holbrook Street. The phone is 303-926-2700. Certificates of occupancy are described as a 48-hour turnaround after a complete submittal. Those are town targets.
Two counties on the map
Erie sits near the Boulder and Weld county line. The town permits inside town limits. Unincorporated land next door does not use this table. Confirm the limit. The permit page does not state who owns an existing lateral. Ask the town's utility before a street cut. Do not use Lafayette's quick-permit list or Aurora's.
Questions to settle first
How long is an Erie water heater permit?
The town lists water heaters with quick permits at one to two business days, in the same row as a sewer or water repair. A new tap is one to two weeks. An addition is four to six weeks for first comments. The contractor needs an Erie license. The phone is 303-926-2700.
Is Erie the same as Lafayette?
No. Lafayette has its own quick-permit list and its own phone. Erie uses eTRAKiT and the table above. A Boulder County parcel that only has an Erie mailing address may be neither town. Confirm the limit before you apply.
Who owns the sewer lateral?
Erie's permit-timing page does not say. Aurora's rule and Louisville's rule are those cities' rules. Ask Erie's utility for this address. A quick repair permit is permission to do the work, not a map of who pays for the pipe in the street.
A slow drain is drain cleaning until a camera shows a broken sewer line. A tank swap is water heater replacement. Confirm the permit office and the utility for this address before the work is closed up.
