A coal town that kept growing
Wikipedia records that early residents worked the coal mines, the post office opened in December 1907, and the town name combines the names of the wives of local mine operators. The city sits at about 5,112 feet in the southwest corner of Weld County.
A house near the original townsite may be many decades old. A home in a newer street may not be. The age tells you what to expect from supply lines, shutoffs and the water heater, so share it when you call. See repiping for how a pipe replacement decision gets made.
Water heater replacement in Dacono
Water heater replacement is among the most common reasons people in Dacono phone a plumber. The typical trigger is a tank that leaks from the bottom, rust in the hot water or a unit that no longer keeps up. A replacement starts with the fuel type, the tank size and the heater's location. Gas or electrical hookups and the vent come next. Read water heater replacement and installation for the full process, or water heater repair if the unit may only need a part.
If your heater is a tankless unit, the tankless service page explains flushing and common faults.

Plumbing trouble in Dacono?
Call and tell the dispatcher your address, the symptom and whether the water is off.
Who supplies your water
Firestone's town website says Central Weld County Water District provides domestic water in a rural area that includes the Tri-town area of Firestone, Frederick and Dacono. Dacono also publishes its own water supply page, so supply can differ by address.
Your bill names your provider. Pass that on to the dispatcher. Responsibility for the pipe usually changes hands at the meter.
Drains and sewer lines
A backed-up floor drain or a toilet that gurgles points to the main line. The first step is a cable or a hydro jet to clear it, and a camera to see why it blocked. Roots, a bellied section or grease buildup each lead to a different fix.
When the camera shows a break, sewer line repair covers spot fixes and trenchless options.
Before the plumber arrives
- Shut the main valve if water is spreading.
- Turn off power or gas to a leaking heater.
- Stop using drains during a backup.
- Take photos for your insurer.
- Clear a path to the heater and the main valve.
- Give the dispatcher your street and a nearby landmark.
Finding your address from the speedway
Colorado National Speedway, which opened in 1965, is a landmark many callers use. If you are near it on a race night, tell the dispatcher, since traffic changes arrival planning.
