Where calls come from
ZIP codes for emergency plumbing, town by town
Plenty of callers look up an emergency plumber by ZIP code, so these are the codes the line hears from. Use the list as orientation, not as a guarantee.
Louisville uses 80027, a code Superior shares. Tell the dispatcher your street address, since the contractor and location decide coverage.
Louisville itself
The majority of calls originate in Louisville itself, incorporated in 1882 and sits at about 5,400 feet in southeastern Boulder County. U.S. 36 forms its southwestern edge, and the city counted 21,226 residents in 2020.
The city draws most of its water from South Boulder Creek, with Colorado River water added through Northern Water, and treats it at two plants of its own. The Marshall Fire of December 2021 destroyed about 550 Louisville homes, so rebuilt houses stand beside older ones in several neighborhoods. The homepage lists what counts as a plumbing emergency and what to do first.
How coverage works
The dispatcher records your address and the problem, then puts you through to a nearby contractor. Because reach depends on the contractor and the address, treat the town pages as a guide only.
Tenants should notify the landlord or manager before anything else and mention ownership during the call. A gas odor is the exception: leave first, then call 911 or the gas utility once you are somewhere safe, ahead of the plumbing line.
Quick answers
Questions about coverage
Give the dispatcher your address when you call. Whether anyone covers it rests with the contractor, and the dispatcher can tell you.
The answer changes by town. Louisville and Superior treat their own water, Boulder and Westminster operate their own plants, Niwot is served by the Left Hand Water District, and Broomfield blends its own supply with treated water bought from Denver Water. Your bill names your provider.
Typically the utility maintains its main and the meter, while the homeowner maintains the pipe on the house side. The dividing line varies, so ask the utility before paying for excavation.
