Grand Terrace utilities and permits
Grand Terrace is a small hillside city along I-215 between Riverside and San Bernardino, nicknamed the Blue Mountain City, with Blue Mountain to the east and the La Loma Hills to the west. The City's water-wise page names Riverside Highland Water Company as the local water company; contact it about meters, service lines and any cross-connection requirements. Wastewater generated in Grand Terrace is treated at Colton's water reclamation plant, and the agency that maintains the local collection lines can vary, so check with the City before work at the main.
The building stock leans older. About 56 percent of homes were built before 1980, with the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s the busiest decades, and commercial buildings from those years can have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron drains nearing the end of their service life.
Grand Terrace is thorough about permits. The City's Building & Safety FAQ says water heaters, re-piping, water softeners and fixture replacement or installation, including sinks, toilets and shower valves, all require a permit. Building & Safety is at 22795 Barton Road, (909) 954-5181, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the City's main line is (909) 954-5200. Build permit time into any restroom upgrade or tenant turnover so the schedule doesn't slip.
