Wildhorse Village is an 80-acre walkable community built around a 15-acre lake at Wild Horse Creek Road and Chesterfield Parkway, across from Central Park. If you own a home there and need a plumber in Wildhorse Village, Chesterfield, MO, the first question is what type of home you have, because the village mixes several.
Much of the village is new construction, so many of these homes are young for plumbing. Young does not mean trouble free. Water heaters, fixtures and drains still need attention, and in an attached home a leak can cross a wall.
Four kinds of homes, four different first calls
Builder names and unit counts below come from approval-stage reporting and local guides. They can change, so confirm yours with your own paperwork.
Townhomes
The Townes at Wildhorse Village were planned as attached townhomes by Fischer Homes. Shared walls mean a leak can reach a neighbor, so tell the neighbor and your association while you shut off your own water.
Single-family lakeside houses
Waterfront at Wildhorse Village was planned as 35 single-family houses by McKelvey Homes. These are maintained like any house, so you hold the shutoff and the water heater.
Condominiums
Audere Residences is listed as a lakefront condominium building. Ask your association which pipes are shared before paying for a repair.
Apartments
The Flats at Wildhorse Village was planned as a 266-unit apartment building at 350 Wildhorse Lake Boulevard. Tenants should report plumbing problems to the property manager first.
Newer homes and the plumbing questions that still come up
If a home is still inside a builder warranty, read it before you hire anyone. Warranties often spell out who may do certain repairs, and work by someone else can complicate a claim. A plumber can still diagnose a problem and tell you what to ask the builder.
Most of St. Louis County gets its water from Missouri American Water. Its 2021 report for the St. Louis region put hardness at 66 to 170 mg/L across the plants that serve the area. Ask the utility which plant serves your address. Scale from hard water builds on heating elements and inside tankless water heaters at any home age, so plan a yearly flush.
Leak in a Wildhorse Village home: first move by home type
| Home type | First move | Who to notify |
|---|---|---|
| Townhome | Close your main shutoff and check the adjoining wall | The neighbor and your association |
| Condominium | Close the shutoff for your unit and call the line | Association or property manager |
| Lakeside house | Close the main shutoff, then call | Your insurer after the leak is stopped |
| Apartment | Tell the property manager before hiring anyone | Property manager |
Governing documents and leases decide who pays. Ask before approving work that can wait.

What we could not confirm about the village
We found no public source for pipe materials, and we do not describe them. We also make no claim about how the lake drains or whether it affects plumbing, because nothing we found says it does. A plumber can only tell you what is true for your home after looking at it.
