How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Commerce City leak can run
A pipe that splits while nobody is home in Commerce City or out in Buffalo Mesa and Reunion is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Commerce City's median home dates to 2005, and about one in ten is a townhome or attached house sharing a wall.
The buildings themselves
Of the 23,169 homes in Commerce City, about 6,417 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 2005; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Newer houses keep most of their plumbing inside heated space, so the exposed lines here are the ones in garages, along shared walls in townhomes, and at hose connections left attached through the fall.
Weather that sets the risk
Cold reaches furthest into an empty building in January, when the normal low in Commerce City is 16.1 degrees, and 5 months of the year dip below freezing at night; the wettest month is May, with 2.35 of 14.11 inches, both figures recorded 4.7 miles away. January is the coldest month, and the lines those nights reach in a newer house are the few left outside the heat: the garage runs, the hose connections, the walls facing north.
What to watch in Commerce City
- Rows of attached townhomes, one home in ten, where a single frozen line in an owner's absence wets the unit next door
- Garage plumbing in newer houses, exposed when the door is left open on a cold night
- Houses left vacant and off the market, close to four hundred of them, which nobody has reason to visit in a cold week

Frequently asked questions
Which lines in a new Commerce City house are most likely to freeze?
The ones outside the heated rooms: water heater and laundry connections in the garage, lines to outdoor faucets, and anything along an exterior wall. A garage door left open through a January night and a hose left on a faucet are the two most common causes.
What should someone new to Colorado winters do in a Commerce City home?
Disconnect garden hoses before the first freeze, keep the garage closed when it is cold, and learn where the main water shutoff is. If you travel in winter, leave the heat at a moderate setting rather than off. Those four habits prevent most frozen pipes in newer houses.
How does a leak spread between Commerce City townhomes?
Through the shared wall and the floor framing, so a failure in an empty unit can reach the one beside it before anyone notices. If you see water on a shared wall, contact the neighbor or the association right away so someone can shut the water off in the unit it is coming from.

If water is still running, find the main shutoff or, on a well, switch off the pump at its breaker before calling.
