Plumbers in Jurupa Valley, CA

Riverside's close neighbor

Jurupa Valley lies just northwest of Riverside; its center is only about 5 miles from Riverside's in a straight line. The city had 105,053 residents in the 2020 Census. Because it is so close, many people assume their water comes from Riverside Public Utilities. It does not: Jurupa Valley has its own districts.

Two districts: find yours first

The City of Jurupa Valley says two community services districts provide water, sewer and street light maintenance in the city: the Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) and the Rubidoux Community Services District (RCSD). Each covers its own area, and your bill names your district.

• JCSD, founded in 1956, serves Jurupa Valley and Eastvale, about 40 square miles in all, with both drinking water and wastewater service. Phone (951) 685-7434. Its annual water quality report is posted at JCSD.us/WaterQuality.
• RCSD provides water and sewer in its own part of the city. Phone (951) 684-7580. Ask the district for its current water quality report.

Knowing your district matters before you call anyone. A broken main, a meter leak or a backup in the public sewer is the district's job, while leaks and clogs on your side of the meter and in the house drain are a private repair.

What this page can and can't tell you

Hardness readings, backflow rules and where each district's responsibility ends on the service line come from the district itself, and housing age varies across the area. Rather than guess, this page leaves those out. Ask your district about meter and lateral responsibility, and about any backflow requirement if you have irrigation or a business on the property.

General Inland Empire conditions still apply. Most homes sit on concrete slabs, so a hidden supply leak can show up as a warm floor, a hissing sound or a meter that keeps turning with every tap closed. Hard water is common across the region and wears on tank water heaters and faucet cartridges. And because this is earthquake country, water heaters must be strapped.

Permits and gas

Jurupa Valley is an incorporated city, so plumbing and water heater permits are handled by the City of Jurupa Valley rather than the county. A plumber who regularly works in the city will know the current process.

SoCalGas is the natural gas provider for residents of Jurupa Valley, according to the city. If you smell gas, leave the house first, then call 911 and SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from outside.

Calling for help

Unlike the City of Riverside, where most homes are on one city utility, Jurupa Valley addresses are on one of two districts. When you call the number on this page, mention your district if you know it and describe the problem. You will be connected with an independent plumber who works in Jurupa Valley, and the two of you agree on price and timing.
