In-town water and private wells around Elizabeth
The Town of Elizabeth runs its own water service for homes inside town, while much of the surrounding countryside depends on something else. The Elbert County 2024 Water Master Plan says most county residents rely on individual Denver Basin wells for drinking water, and most of the community is on individual wells and septic systems. Around Elizabeth, that covers a lot of acreage homes.
For a well owner, the pump, pressure switch and pressure tank form the heart of the water system. When any one fails, water stops. Short cycling, sputtering faucets and pressure that swings up and down are early warnings. Well water can also be hard or carry sediment, which scales water heaters and fixtures and makes softeners and filters worth considering.
Homes in Old Town Elizabeth along SH 86 include older buildings with original piping and drains, while newer subdivisions and acreage homes have more modern systems. Winter on the open plains is tough on exposed lines, pump houses and hose bibs. We repair the plumbing in and around the house, and septic tank pumping stays with septic service companies.

Advice for well owners in and around Elizabeth
- Watch for short cyclingIf the pump clicks on and off every few seconds while a faucet runs, the pressure tank may be failing. Fixing it early protects the pump.
- Test your well waterNobody tests a private well for you. A lab test shows whether softening or filtration would help before you buy any equipment.
- Keep a space heater readyDuring arctic fronts, a safe, thermostatically controlled heater in the pump house protects the switch and fittings from freezing overnight.

Does my Elizabeth home on a well need a water softener?
Many Denver Basin wells produce hard water, but every well is different. A water test tells you how hard yours is and whether iron or sediment are present. We use those results to recommend a softener, a filter or both, sized to your household.
