Elizabeth is the Elbert County town east of Franktown on Highway 86, about 1,700 people at 6,477 feet, incorporated in 1890 on the site of a sawmill camp and named for a relative of territorial governor John Evans. Running Creek runs through town, and the housing is a mix of old Main Street cottages, 1970s-to-1990s ranches on acreage with wells and septic, and newer subdivisions such as Gold Creek Valley that have filled in since the 2010s.
The country lots are the ones that catch people out. A well house, a pressure tank, and a long supply run from the pump to the house all sit in the path of a Palmer Divide cold snap, and a leak out there can run for days before a pressure drop tips anyone off. In town, the older homes have shallow basements that see the spring melt off Running Creek.
This site connects Elizabeth homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. Describe what you found, and the provider decides what to meter first.
A well line or a pressure tank that let go in a utility room is burst pipe water damage, with the pump breaker in place of a main valve. A line that froze in an unheated well house or a garage wall is frozen pipe cleanup. Standing water on a basement slab is water extraction before drying begins.
The Town of Elizabeth handles rebuild permits inside town limits through its Community Development department, and homes in town are on town water. Acreage outside the limits is on wells and pulls permits through Elbert County rather than Douglas.
