Low Water Pressure in Aurora, CO

A lever ball valve and a wheel-handled gate valve on the same run of pipe

PressureTrace is a referral service, not a plumbing contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

Aurora has 166,961 occupied homes across 11 ZIP codes, and the typical one was built in 1986. That year is the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Aurora sits 4 years older than the CO median of 1990. Of the 93 CO towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 62% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 3rd.

What 1986 tells you about the pipe in Aurora

Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.

67% of occupied homes in Aurora are owner-occupied, 14 points below the CO figure of 81%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Median household income across Aurora ZIP codes is $76,458, 26% below the CO median of $103,819.

Before calling anyone in Aurora, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
