Brighton's median home was built in 1999, but the town's oldest neighborhood, the Brighton Subdivision near Bridge Street, was platted in 1881.
Plumbing in Brighton
Older homes near downtown come with older sewer laterals and supply pipe. The newer subdivisions bring builder-grade water heaters and fixtures reaching replacement age. Brighton gets most of its water from its own wells in the South Platte and Beebe Draw aquifers, plus water leased from Thornton.
