Denver Water customers only
Denver Water lead service lines
Denver Water's Lead Reduction Program can replace an eligible lead service line at no direct charge to the customer. It is not a coupon for every house near Denver, and it is not a reason to buy a private replacement before you check the address.
The program page says an address search shows whether a home is among an estimated 60,000 to 64,000 with a possible lead service line. Replacement areas are planned, with notice often a month or two before work. Outside that schedule, Denver Water says it will also replace a customer-owned lead line with copper, at no direct charge, when it finds one during a water-main project. There is a partial reimbursement path if a customer replaces sooner. Customer care on that page is 303-893-2444. Emergencies are 303-628-6801. Those are Denver Water's numbers, not this guide's, and they are not tap-to-call links here.
Littleton says Denver Water supplies its potable water. Centennial says much of its water comes through Denver Water distributors and points at the same program. Being near Aurora does not put you on the program. Aurora Water is a different utility. Use the address tool on Denver Water's site before anyone sells you a dig. The ordinary private repair, when the line is not in the program, is water line repair.
Questions to settle first
Will Denver Water replace my line for free?
Only if the address is in the program or they find a customer-owned lead line during their own main work. The page says there is no direct charge in those cases. Check the address. Do not pay for a private replacement until that answer is no.
Does this cover Aurora Water customers?
No. The program is Denver Water's. Aurora Water is a different system. Centennial and Littleton may be Denver Water distributors or customers. The bill and the address search decide. A ZIP code does not. Ask them to write that limit into the quote before you compare it with another company.
Can I replace it myself and get the money back?
The page says a partial reimbursement program exists for customers who replace sooner. It is partial, and it is theirs to approve. This guide does not quote the amount and does not describe how to dig the line. Ask them to write that limit into the quote before you compare it with another company.
