Broomfield in brief

  • Both city and countyColorado's 64th county, created in November 2001.
  • About 74,000 residentsCensus 2020 recorded 31,298 housing units.
  • Smallest Colorado countyJust under 34 square miles in all.

One government, two roles

Broomfield incorporated as a city in 1961, then merged city and county government on November 15, 2001. The council also acts as as the county's board of commissioners, so permits and inspections run through Broomfield, not through Boulder County.

If a contractor says a permit is needed for a water heater, a gas line or a sewer lateral, the City and County of Broomfield issues it. Have the contractor confirm this ahead of the visit, and file the inspection card with your home records.

Subdivisions from several eras

The area grew first as a commuter suburb and then through a technology boom in the 1990s, so a single street can hold homes from the 1970s next to ones built in the last ten years. Larger homes often have two water heaters or a recirculation loop.

In older subdivisions, galvanized or early copper lines can leak at joints. A leak detection visit can find a pinhole before it stains a ceiling, and repiping is the long-term answer for pipe that keeps failing.

Need urgent plumbing in 80020, 80021, 80023 and 80038? Calls from those ZIP codes and nearby blocks are answered by the all-hours line. Think of the list as a pointer, not a guarantee of service.

Commercial buildings and office parks

Broomfield's largest employer is Oracle, and the city hosts Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. The commercial side includes office parks, restaurants, shops and light industrial buildings spread along the highways.

Those buildings need after-hours service for restrooms, floor drains and large water heaters. Commercial plumbing covers those calls, and many commercial sites also need a yearly backflow test on their irrigation or fire lines.

Hot water that keeps up

In larger homes, the water heater is often the first thing to give out. A tank that rumbles, leaks at the base or runs out quickly deserves a look before it fails on a cold morning.

A tankless unit needs scale flushing in hard water, which the Front Range has. A tank that has reached the end of its life is a candidate for replacement, and the contractor should size it to the household.

Common questions

Broomfield plumbing questions

The City and County of Broomfield. It is a consolidated government, so permits do not come from Boulder County, even though Broomfield was once part of it.

80020, 80021, 80023 and 80038. The last is listed as a PO Box code, so a street address is the safest way to check coverage.

Say it is a business and describe the building. The dispatcher will say if a contractor can take commercial work at that time.

Turn off the power or gas to the unit, close the cold water valve above it, and call. A small drip from a fitting is repairable, but a leak from the tank itself usually means replacement.

Yes. Nobody hangs up the phones at night or on holidays. Tell the dispatcher where you are and what broke, and you are passed to a nearby contractor whose own schedule sets the arrival time.

Residents of those ZIP codes and the streets beside them dial the same number. Whether a contractor serves your exact block varies, so check during the call.
