Toilet Repair in Nederland, CO
Nederland sits in the middle of both measures — 71% of housing built before 1990, 64% of households owning their home.
Short version
Tenure in Nederland is close to even, at 64% owner-occupied and 36% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 71% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Nederland’s housing suggests
About 71% of homes in Nederland predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.
| Housing in Nederland | Share |
|---|---|
| Built before 1940 | 31% |
| Built 1940 to 1989 | 40% |
| Built 1990 onwards | 29% |

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
