Many districts, one map
Plumber Lakewood CO
Lakewood does not have one water department for every address. The city printed a provider list in December 2024. The sewer drawing people pass around is for the city's own north Lakewood customers, about 8,000 of them, not for every name on that list.
Look up the row before you assign the bill
The list includes districts that provide both water and sewer, water only, or sewer only. Lakewood's own water and sewer utility is one row, at 480 S. Allison Parkway. Consolidated Mutual, Denver Water, Green Mountain, Bancroft-Clover, Bear Creek, and several sanitation districts are others. A backup on Green Mountain's system is not a call to the city's crew. The full lookup is the provider guide. Do not paste Aurora's tap rule over any of these rows.
What the city graphic actually says
For that north Lakewood city sewer, Public Works keeps the mains. The owner keeps the lateral from the home or business to the main under the street. Half of that system, the city says, is private lateral, and those laterals cause many backups. Never connect a sump pump or a roof drain to that sewer. A device to stop sewage from entering the house is described as required by the plumbing code for some properties, not as a product this website sells. Maintenance is 303-987-7955. Emergencies and after hours are 303-980-7300. Those numbers are the city's, for that system, and they are not this guide's referral phone.
A house water heater is still a building permit question for the City of Lakewood's building division, separate from which district sells the water. This page does not invent that permit timeline. For an Aurora comparison, use Aurora replacement only when the parcel is in Aurora.
Questions to settle first
Does the city own my sewer lateral?
Not on the city's own graphic. You maintain the lateral to the main under the street. The city maintains the main, for about 8,000 north Lakewood customers. If your bill is a district, this graphic may not be your utility at all. Check the December 2024 list.
Whose number do I call for a backup?
The utility on the bill. The city's after-hours line, 303-980-7300, is for the city system. It is printed so you do not call Aurora Water by mistake. It is not a button on this website. Ask them to write that limit into the quote before you compare it with another company.
Can I connect the sump to the sewer?
The graphic says no. Groundwater and gutters stay out of that sanitary sewer. A basement toilet that cannot reach the sewer by gravity needs an ejector, which is sewage equipment, not a sump. Do not swap them. Ask them to write that limit into the quote before you compare it with another company.
