What shapes water heater trouble in Milliken
A small town of homeowners
Milliken has fewer than 9,000 residents, and about 92% of homes are lived in by their owners. That makes most water heater decisions here yours: repair the part, or replace the tank.
About 62% of homes were built in 2000 or later. Heaters from that era are now well into their second decade, while newer homes may still be under warranty.
Water from Carter Lake and Loveland
Milliken's 2026 water report shows the town buys water from the Carter Lake Filter Plant and the City of Loveland, both treating mountain surface water. The report doesn't list a hardness figure.
Xcel gas and Weld County cold
About 76% of Milliken homes heat with gas, and Xcel lists Milliken for gas service. The Greeley NOAA station nearby averages about 153 nights a year at or below freezing, with January lows near 17°F, so winter is when weak parts tend to give out.

- Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
- Gas smell? Xcel Energy serves Milliken. Leave the house, call 911 from outside, then Xcel Energy at 800-895-2999.
