Fort Collins Sewer Line Repair repairs and replaces sewer lines, including the pipe from a house to its septic tank, and water service lines in Campion, the unincorporated community between Loveland, 3.3 miles north, and Berthoud, 2.8 miles south. What makes Campion different is that about half the addresses within a mile of it are inside Loveland or Berthoud town limits and the rest are outside both. So whether your home is on town sewer or septic, and whose rules apply, depends on the exact address.

Call nowCampion’s homes and addresses, by the numbers
Campion is not a census-designated place, so the Census Bureau publishes no population for it. The 5.7-square-mile census tract that contains it shows the housing mix:
- Median year built: 1993
- Built before 1980: 19% of homes
- Built in 2010 or later: 6%
(Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates.)
Within a mile of Campion’s mapped center, records show 1,136 address points, 566 of them inside Loveland or Berthoud town limits, plus 58 parcels with septic records and 19 domestic and household wells.
The local landmark is Campion Academy, a Seventh-day Adventist boarding high school founded in 1907. Its address, 300 42nd St SW, is unincorporated and about half a mile from Campion’s mapped center, a sign of how closely county and town addresses sit together here.
Is my Campion home on town sewer or septic?
No sanitation district covers Campion, so no single sewer provider serves the whole community. A sewer charge from Loveland or Berthoud usually means town sewer, and no sewer charge usually means septic. A camera inspection also settles it, because the line ends at either a main or a tank.
| Your address | Who maintains the main | Your part of the sewer |
|---|---|---|
| Inside Loveland, on city sewer | Loveland Water and Power | The connection leading up to the main |
| Inside Berthoud, on town sewer | The town: mains, manholes and regional lift stations | The service line and its attachment to the main |
| Outside both towns, on septic | There is no main | The whole private system |
We confirm current rules with Loveland or Berthoud before work starts, and if an address outside both towns has a sewer bill, we confirm that provider’s rules too. Loveland Water and Power also has a joint sewer service agreement form for properties that share a service line.
Our Loveland and Berthoud pages cover each town, and our guide on who is responsible for the sewer line explains the split.
Water in Campion: Little Thompson, a town or a well
Campion sits inside Little Thompson Water District’s boundary, although a boundary does not prove a main reaches every lot. For its customers, the district “maintains the public water system and the service line between the water main and the meter pit,” and owners are responsible for “plumbing and service lines on the customer’s side of the meter.”
If your water bill comes from the City of Loveland instead, Loveland’s municipal code puts the service line from the curb stop into the building on the owner. If it comes from the Town of Berthoud, we confirm the town’s rule before we quote. With 19 household wells within a mile, some homes are on private wells, where the whole line is the owner’s.
Most homes in the tract date from 1980 through 2009, overlapping the late 1970s to mid-1990s, when polybutylene water pipe was common. It is often gray, blue or black and known for cracking, so it is worth replacing before it fails.
Common problems in Campion’s younger lines
Homes around Campion are younger than those in LaPorte or Bellvue, so the sewer line is more often ABS or PVC than clay. Plastic resists roots; its weak points are usually the trench and the joints:
- Bellies: settled backfill leaves a sag where solids collect. A liner cannot fix the slope, so that section is usually dug up and re-laid.
- Offset or separated joints: the Colorado Geological Survey calls expansive soil Colorado’s most significant geologic hazard and lists sewer lines among the things it damages.
- Damage from later projects: fence posts, sprinklers and landscaping hit lines nobody located first.
- Older homes: in the tract’s 19% built before 1980, clay, cast iron or Orangeburg fiber pipe may remain.
Our technicians find and mark the problem with the camera first, so the repair fits it.
Permits and buying a home in Campion
- Town addresses: permits and inspections generally go through the town the address is in, and we confirm what Loveland or Berthoud requires.
- Septic homes: LCDHE handles septic permits, as it does across unincorporated Larimer County, and for a repair limited to the pipe from the house to the tank, we check with LCDHE whether one is needed.
- Buying: on town sewer, book a sewer scope during your inspection period. On septic, Larimer County requires an inspection by a certified inspector, with the report sent to LCDHE before closing, unless the transfer is exempt, and an Agreement to Repair allows repairs within 180 days after closing.
We pull the permits, request the 811 locates and schedule the inspections. Every job is done by licensed sewer technicians and covered by liability insurance, and active sewage backups are scheduled first.
