How Greeley's water and sewer system shapes plumbing calls
Greeley's drinking water comes from four river basins and is treated at the Boyd Lake and Bellevue plants. The same City supplies about 30 percent of the water the Town of Windsor buys. Greeley's Water and Sewer Department runs the mains, so a problem in the street goes to the City and a problem inside your property line is yours.
Greeley also runs an active cross-connection control program. A notice printed in the Town of Windsor's 2025 water report says Greeley's backflow testing ratio fell short in 2023 and returned to compliance by August 31, 2024. For a business, that is a reminder that backflow testing is enforced, covered under backflow testing and prevention.
Greeley areas and what each commonly needs
| Area | Housing profile | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Old Town Greeley | Union Colony-era streets, with homes from the 1870s onward | Repiping assessment and a sewer camera inspection |
| University of Northern Colorado area | Mixed-age homes near the campus | Water heater repair and fixture work |
| Island Grove and the river corridor | Low-lying ground near the Cache la Poudre | Sump and drain checks |
| Commercial and industrial areas | Shops, plants and food service | Commercial plumbing |
Greeley is large and varied. These are patterns and not rules, and a camera look beats a guess.
Old plumbing failing?
Call and tell us the neighborhood and the age of the house.
A city that was built around water
The Union Colony, founded in 1869 and 1870 by Nathan Meeker, made water its first priority. Early residents drew from the Cache la Poudre River, Union Colony Ditch No. 3 and shallow wells, and in 1889 the city built a waterworks with a standpipe near Island Grove. The system has grown for over a century, which is also why the oldest homes in the area are here.
For a homeowner, the point is age. A house from the early 1900s can have original drain lines and a mix of repairs, and sewer line replacement is a real option when a camera shows failure along the run. From 80631 and 80634 to the campus ZIP, 80639, and nearby 80620 and 80550, repiping, sewer line replacement and commercial plumbing are the jobs to ask about first.
The river and the 2013 flood
The September 2013 flood put the Cache la Poudre and the South Platte into low-lying parts of Greeley, with hundreds of people under evacuation orders as water reached 11 feet. The lasting lesson for homeowners is to check sump pumps, backflow valves and flood coverage. Standard homeowner policies usually exclude flood, so a separate policy is the answer.
Burst Pipe or Active Leak in Greeley: Do This Before We Arrive
Greeley calls range from century-old bungalows to restaurants after closing. The first four steps are the same for both.
Close the main valve
In an older Greeley home the shutoff can be in a basement, a crawl space or a utility closet. Turn it until the flow stops, and for a business, close the building's main as well.
Kill power to wet areas
Switch off breakers for wet rooms and any equipment sitting in water, such as a water heater or a dishwasher. If water is at the panel, stay clear.
Clear the area
Move stock, rugs and electronics off wet floors, and keep people out of any room with sewage. Take photos before cleanup for your insurer.
Call the 24/7 line
Call (970) 708-6013 with the address, the ZIP (80631, 80634 or 80639) and what is failing. The line is answered around the clock, nights and weekends included.
Greeley and the towns around it
Greeley is the Weld County seat and the largest city in the service area. Customers in Milliken, about 10 miles to the southwest, and in Severance, 10 miles to the northwest, are served by the same line, but each town has its own utilities and permit rules. Confirm your own provider before a main line call.
Commercial work is a larger share of Greeley calls than in the smaller towns. Restaurants, shops and light industrial sites need backflow testing, floor drain service and after-hours response, and those needs run through the commercial plumbing and backflow pages. After-hours dispatch for homes and commercial sites runs around the clock.
What affects price on Greeley calls
Older homes and commercial sites vary the most. The price is explained before work starts.
Policies commonly exclude flood and sewer backup unless endorsements are added. Ask your agent, and document the plumbing before an emergency.
Plumbing questions from Greeley homeowners and businesses
Yes. Downtown Greeley and the blocks around the post office on 11th Avenue use 80631, and much of the rest of the city's street delivery runs through 80634, which also reaches into Evans. The University of Northern Colorado campus has its own ZIP, 80639. All three reach the 24/7 line.
The City of Greeley's, not the Town of Windsor's. Ask the City's building division about your project.
Not automatically. A camera inspection and a pressure test show whether the pipe is failing along its length.

Yes. Greeley emergency calls are answered around the clock, including restaurants and shops that need a floor drain or a backed-up line cleared after closing. Tell us the address, the ZIP and what is failing, and we explain the price first. Severance to the northwest shares it.
