Eastvale's homes and utilities

Eastvale was dairy and farm country until the late 1990s, when it turned into a commuter suburb. Its homes are young, with a median build year of 2007, so most have modern plumbing. The catch is that many original water heaters, supply hoses and valves are now at the age where they start to fail, often all at once. Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) supplies the water and handles wastewater. Its water is a blend of local groundwater and imported surface water, disinfected with chlorine, with total hardness averaging 162 mg/L. JCSD's Service Line Upgrade Project replaces aging polyethylene service lines in front of homes in Eastvale and Jurupa Valley, so a leak near the curb may be JCSD's to look at first. In a two-story house, a failed supply line upstairs can soak a ceiling below before anyone notices, so act quickly when you see a stain spreading.

Emergency Plumber questions in Eastvale

The water heater is leaking from the bottom. How urgent is that?

Urgent. With a median build year of 2007, many Eastvale homes still have original heaters at the end of their life. Turn it off, close the cold supply and call.

Water is coming up in the yard near the meter box. Who handles it?

Call JCSD at (951) 685-7434 first, since it is replacing older polyethylene service lines in front of homes. A leak on the house side is a plumbing repair.

Does an emergency repair still need a permit here?

Eastvale requires permits for installing, altering, repairing or replacing plumbing or gas systems. Water heater permits are usually issued over the counter.

Does a replacement water heater have to be strapped?

Yes. California requires seismic strapping, and the plumber should install it with the new heater.
