Who should you call?
Call the city utility when a problem appears to involve a public water main, sewer main, hydrant, meter or another piece of municipal infrastructure.
Call Skul Plumbing for plumbing fixtures, water heaters, boilers, gas piping, drains, sump pumps and water or sewer service lines on private property.
If the boundary is unclear, the local utility can verify whether its system is affected before private work begins.
Gas-leak safety
If you smell or suspect natural gas, leave immediately and call 911 from a safe location. Then contact the property’s gas utility. Xcel Energy directs its Colorado customers to call 800-895-2999 after calling 911.

Permits protect the work
Permit requirements differ by city and scope. Water-heater or boiler replacement, gas-line work, plumbing alterations and underground service-line repairs commonly require permits or inspections. Each community page links directly to the applicable city department.
