Who Denver Sewer and Water Is
Denver Sewer and Water is a private, family owned plumbing contractor in Denver, Colorado. We are second-generation underground line specialists. We dig, repair, and replace the sewer lines, water lines, fire lines, and storm drains that run across private property, and we install the taps that connect those lines to the main. A property owner hires us directly and pays us directly.
Who Denver Water Is
Denver Water is the public water utility for the City and County of Denver. It supplies drinking water, owns the mains and meters, and sends the water bill. It is a government utility, not a plumbing contractor, and it has no ownership or business relationship with our company. Reach it at denverwater.org, the municipal water utility.
What Each One Does
The simplest split is the property line. The utility is responsible for the public system in the street. The property owner is responsible for the line from the main to the building, and that is the line we work on.

When to Call Which
If the problem is money, an account, a meter, or water in the street, it belongs to the utility. If the problem is a line on your property that is broken, blocked, leaking, or needs to be connected, it belongs to a contractor, and that is us. If you cannot tell, call us and we will say so honestly, even when the answer sends you to the utility instead.
