The water line past the meter is yours in Superior
The town supplies water to the meter. From the meter into the house, the pipe and everything it passes belong to the homeowner, and the town's FAQ says so in plain terms. A leak on that stretch shows up as a high bill, a wet strip across the lawn or low pressure at the tap.
Take the town up on the courtesy check, then bring in a plumber for the repair. Read about replacing a buried supply pipe for the next step.
Why a small leak past the meter turns into a big bill
Water that passes the meter is billed to the owner whether it ends up in a tub or in the soil. A quiet service line leak can run for weeks before anyone notices. A meter reading taken with every fixture closed tells you quickly: if the dial moves, water is leaving somewhere.
| Check | How to do it | What it suggests |
|---|---|---|
| Meter dial test | Close every tap, then watch the dial | Movement means a leak |
| Toilet dye test | Drop dye in the tank and wait | Color in the bowl means a flapper leak |
| Lawn check | Look for a wet strip or a soft spot | A buried pipe may be leaking |

Older Superior houses and patched supply pipes
Homes that are decades old can carry supply pipe and valves that have been repaired more than once, and a leak in one spot often means the neighboring section is close behind. A plumber starts with a pressure test and a look at the shutoffs before quoting a repair.
When the pipes keep failing in sections, a repipe is usually the better answer. Read about replacing old supply pipes for the next step.

Do I pay for water lost to a leak in Superior?
Yes. The town's FAQ answers a question on exactly this and says the owner pays for water that passes the meter, which is why a leak in the service line deserves a quick plumber visit and a meter check.
Does a water heater replacement in Superior need a permit?
The town's permit guidance lists installing a water heater as work that needs a permit. The building department number on that page is 303-381-2028, and the town says permits go through its online portal.
What license does a plumber need to work in Superior?
The permit page says contractor licensing began on October 13, 2025, and that plumbing contractors upload their state and master licenses. A plumber who pulls permits in town already has to meet that step.

The utility billing FAQ says the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District supplies the town from the Colorado-Big Thompson and Windy Gap projects. No hardness figure appears on the pages reviewed, so test your tap before choosing equipment.
