Security and Widefield are unincorporated communities south-east of Colorado Springs that share ZIP 80911, about 13.1 km from the center point. Water losses there are handled to the same sequence as in the city: the source is stopped, the water is removed, the building is read and then dried to the standard for each material. The phone line is answered at all hours.
Security and Widefield are two unincorporated communities that share the 80911 ZIP, south-east of Colorado Springs. They are on the Fountain Creek side of the county, which means the creek and the storm water that drains toward it are part of the local water picture. A homeowner here is inside the county's creek system, even if the house is far from the channel.
This page keeps to what was sourced. The housing age and the foundation type for these communities were not found, and the page does not state them. It covers the creek record, the work that follows a call and the checks a homeowner can make.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Fountain Creek runs south through the county, past Manitou Springs and Fountain. The communities of Security and Widefield sit on the same side of the county as the creek, and storm water from the surrounding ground drains toward it.
The 2013 burn-scar runoff reached the creek and ran downstream, and the Fountain Creek watershed district reports flood damage to property and infrastructure from that year. The record is a reason for homeowners in the creek system to watch the lowest parts of their lots after heavy rain.
A loss in either community is worked in the usual order: the source is stopped, the water is removed and the wet material is identified. The readings then set the drying, and the record is kept for the homeowner.
Where the water has come from outside, silt and debris are part of the loss and are recorded separately from the clean water of a supply leak.
Look at the grading on the low side of the lot, the window wells and the garage threshold after a storm. Silt on the lowest step or a line on the wall shows where the water reached.
Keep the drainage clear, including any culvert or ditch that runs along the property edge. A blocked ditch sends storm water to the house.
Security and Widefield share the 80911 ZIP, but the ground and the drainage of each lot differ. A lot on the creek side takes water from the creek system, while a lot further from the channel takes it from the storm drains and the open ground around it. The first walk of the property tells the crew which of the two is at work.
A caller should say which community the house is in, because the records of the county are kept for each. The line will ask for the address, and the crew uses it to find the right property record.
A house in Security or Widefield benefits from a dated record of each storm, with the water line, the silt, the drainage and the condition of the drive. The record is most useful after a large storm, when it shows the path the water took and what was changed.
Where a house in the two communities has a drain tile or a sump, the crew checks that the discharge does not return water to the same low point. A pump that discharges into a ditch that is already full can send the water straight back, and the readings after a storm show whether that has happened.
Storm water from the surrounding ground is the most common water loss in these communities.
The creek system's burn-scar record is part of the local context, and silt is removed while wet.
A crawl space that takes storm water is read and dried before the floor above is closed.

No. They are unincorporated communities south-east of the city, and the line still takes calls for them.
Not every house. The sourced record describes the creek system, and whether a given property is at risk depends on its own grade and drainage.
Yes. The record of the source, the materials and the readings is given to the homeowner at the end of the work.
No. The same line answers calls for both communities, and it passes each call to the company that does the work.
Yes. Drainage notes, dated photographs and the path of the water after each storm are what the crew and the insurer use to read a loss.
