City of Longmont
Plumber Longmont CO
Longmont uses two different phone lines for water and sewer taps: one for work outside the building and one for work inside. A bathroom remodel can need both.
Inside versus outside
The city's development page says to call 303-651-8304 for water and sewer tap information outside the building, and 303-651-8332 for tap information inside the building. New service lines are sized from fixture counts under the plumbing code the city says it has adopted. A form for expected utility needs asks for water-supply fixture units and drainage fixture units. That is a development sizing sheet, not a repair invoice, and this page will not calculate the units for you.
A repair is not a new tap
Fixing a leak on a private water line or a sewer lateral is not the same phone call as buying a new tap for a subdivision. Ask which desk you are on. Longmont's tap pages do not say whether the owner or the city maintains an existing lateral under the street. Confirm that with the utility before a street cut. Longmont Power is a separate city utility from water and wastewater. A plumbing job is not an electric-meter job.
Questions to settle first
Which Longmont number is for a sewer tap in the street?
303-651-8304, the number the city prints for water and sewer tap information outside the building. Inside-the-building tap questions use 303-651-8332. A remodel that adds fixtures can need both. Those numbers are the city's, not this guide.
Will you calculate fixture units?
No. The city's form asks for them under the plumbing code it has adopted. The engineer or the plumber on the development submits them. A webpage total would be made up. A simple repair of one existing pipe is not that form.
Does Longmont use Aurora's tap rule?
No. Longmont separates inside and outside tap questions. Those pages do not say the homeowner owns the line through the tap. Ask Longmont utilities for the address before a street cut is priced. Confirm who maintains the pipe before you authorize the work.
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.
