  Urgent when:

  A pipe has split or water is spraying

  Before help arrives:

  Open the faucet, warm the pipe gently; never use an open flame

• Sewer Line Repair

  Sewage backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain

  Before help arrives:

  Stop running water; don't use chemical drain cleaners

Why Cheyenne homes need these repairs

Cheyenne gets its water from mountain reservoirs and well fields, much of it piped in from across the Continental Divide. Most homes are owner-occupied, and in Cheyenne the owner is responsible for the service line and the meter pit, which makes frozen meters and service lines a real winter risk.
