Emergency plumber ZIP codes by town
Many searches for an emergency plumber start with a ZIP code, so the list follows. Calls from these ZIP codes reach the 24/7 line: Brighton (80601, 80602 and 80603); Thornton (80241, 80229, 80233 and 80260); Henderson (80640); Dupont (80024); Northeast Denver (80239, 80238 and 80216); Aurora (80010, 80011 and 80019); Westminster (80030, 80031, 80035 and 80036).

ZIP boundaries and city limits seldom line up. The dispatcher needs your street address to say whether a contractor covers you, so have it ready.
Commerce City itself
Commerce Town was formed by a 1952 vote and took the name Commerce City in 1962 after it annexed part of the old town of Derby. The 2020 census counted 62,418 residents. See the homepage to see which problems count as emergencies and what happens on the first call.
Water and sewer service for the city comes from SACWSD, the South Adams County Water and Sanitation District. It was formed in 1951 and covers more than 65 square miles. The district says it maintains sewer mains and will not service utilities on private property, which leaves the pipes inside your lot to you. Its after-hours emergency line is 303-288-2646 for problems in the street or at the meter.
How coverage works
The dispatcher records your address and the details of the trouble, then reaches a nearby contractor. Because coverage turns on both the contractor and the address, treat the town pages as a guide, not a guarantee.
Tenants should start with the landlord or building manager and tell the dispatcher who owns the unit. A gas smell is different: get out of the building and ring 911 or the gas utility from well away before contacting the plumbing line.
Quick answers
Questions about coverage
Give the dispatcher your street address when you call. Coverage differs by contractor, and the dispatcher can confirm it on the call.
It changes from town to town and sometimes from street to street. Commerce City's water comes from SACWSD (South Adams County Water and Sanitation District), while Denver, Thornton, Westminster, Brighton and Aurora each run or buy their own. Your water bill names the provider.
Generally the utility owns its main and the meter, while the owner holds the pipe running from the meter into the house. Exact boundaries differ, so check with your utility before paying for excavation.
