Older planned neighborhoods and city-run utilities
Northglenn began as a planned community in 1959, so many of its original homes date from the 1960s. Houses of that age can have older supply pipes, older shut-off valves and drain lines that have seen decades of roots, so a repeated slow drain is worth a camera look rather than another bottle of drain cleaner.
The city's service line program says homeowners are responsible for the water and sewer lines from the home to the city line. Northglenn's permit page also says a permit is needed to install or replace a water heater, change interior plumbing, or replace or repair an outside water or sewer line. Ask the plumber who will pull the permit before the work is scheduled.
Northglenn's utilities and permits belong to the city, not to the county or to Westminster, so a call to Westminster's offices will not settle a Northglenn question.
Older homes
Plumbing questions for older Northglenn homes
Northglenn's first homes date to 1959. Age alone does not mean a problem, but it is worth asking about.
- What are the supply pipes made of? Material and condition decide whether a repair is a patch or the start of a bigger job.
- Do the shut-off valves still close? Old valves that stick or leak are common, and finding out during a leak is the worst time.
- What does a camera show in the drain line? Decades of roots or buildup are a reason to inspect rather than keep clearing.
- How old is the water heater? Storage heaters last roughly 10 to 15 years, according to the Department of Energy.
City permits
What Northglenn's permit page lists
Northglenn's Building Division lists four plumbing jobs on its permit page: installing or replacing a water heater, changing interior plumbing, replacing or repairing an outside water or sewer line, and installing or replacing a lawn-sprinkler backflow device. Ask the plumber which of these your job is and who will pull the permit.
Because the city provides both water and sewer service, one set of city offices answers questions about the street side. The city's service line program says homeowners are responsible for the lines from the home to the city line, and the exact connection point is worth confirming before you plan a repair.

Northglenn runs its own water and sewer services, which are listed on the city's utility pages. That makes the city utility the first call for a problem in the street and the homeowner's plumber the first call for a problem on your side of the property line.
