Roxborough Water and Sanitation District says homes in its system are required to have a pressure-reducing valve to help manage changes in incoming pressure. The device is typically placed on the incoming line before the meter, according to the district’s homeowner guide.

The district directs residents with questions about installation or function to a licensed plumber. Its leak guidance also recommends watching for unexpected usage changes on bills and having indoor fixtures or irrigation checked when necessary.

The utility makes an important distinction between a homeowner’s shutoff and district equipment: only authorized district personnel may operate the district meter’s on-and-off control. This guide was checked Nov. 10. Questions about a particular property or proposed work can be directed to the district at 303-979-7286.
