Arapahoe County’s seat spans three counties and carries 14.5 grains per gallon of alluvial hardness in ACWWA-supplied areas while ranging from Victorian-era Downtown to new development at Sterling Ranch, and Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric brings licensed technicians built to handle both the hard water and the full housing timeline. Precision’s water treatment, appliance, and plumbing services address both conditions directly. Contact Precision today and schedule a licensed plumber for your Littleton home.
Our Services
Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority, which supplies portions of Littleton, has confirmed on its own water quality fact sheet that its alluvial well water carries 14.5 grains per gallon and 450 mg/L of total dissolved solids, a level the authority itself describes as very hard. That mineral load drives scale accumulation in water heaters, supply valves, and appliance connections across the city’s 1970s–2000s core, and it is one of the defining plumbing service conditions that every contractor working in this area must be equipped to address.
Here are the plumbing and drain services available to homeowners in the area:

Where We Serve

Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric serves the whole city across all three counties it touches, including the following neighborhoods:
Here are the areas across the community where Precision provides residential plumbing services:

FAQ

Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric covers the full city across all three counties Littleton touches, from the historic streets of Downtown and the established Columbine Knolls and Leawood neighborhoods through to the Ken Caryl foothills community and the newer Sterling Ranch development near the Douglas County line. The same licensed, insured team services every part of Littleton without restriction.
The City of Littleton requires all contractors to hold a current city license or registration certificate before any building permit can be issued within city limits; permit valuations are set by the code official, and the city’s governing plumbing standard is the 2024 International Plumbing Code with local amendments, adopted by city ordinance in 2025. Precision’s licensed plumbers carry the required city credentials and manage permit applications for every qualifying scope of work.
Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority, which supplies portions of Littleton, has stated on its own water quality fact sheet that its alluvial well water carries 14.5 grains per gallon and 450 milligrams per liter of total dissolved solids, a level the authority itself describes as very hard. Over time, that mineral concentration accelerates scale buildup inside water heaters, tankless units, and supply valves, shortening appliance life and reducing system efficiency across homes throughout the ACWWA service area.
Columbine Knolls and the surrounding Columbine-area subdivisions were developed primarily between the 1960s and 1980s, placing those homes at 40 to 60 years of continuous residential use. Water heaters, supply valves, and drain systems from that construction era are commonly at or past their expected service lives, particularly in homes that have seen sustained exposure to very hard alluvial water. A professional plumbing inspection is an appropriate first step for owners who have not recently assessed these primary systems.
Littleton’s incorporated limits touch Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson counties, but plumbing permits for properties within the city limits are issued by the City of Littleton’s Building Inspection Division, not by the individual county building departments. Properties outside the city’s incorporated limits but within a Littleton mailing address may fall under county jurisdiction; Precision’s licensed plumbers verify the correct permitting authority for each job address.
Standard non-emergency appointments are typically available within one to two business days, with tighter scheduling windows during peak demand in mid-winter and early spring. Precision’s around-the-clock support availability means urgent plumbing situations, including active leaks, water heater failures, and burst pipes, can be addressed without waiting for standard business hours to resume.
