If you smell gas at a Jurupa Valley property, leave first and call 911 and SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from a safe place. For repairs and new lines after the meter, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Jurupa Valley.
Gas lines in Jurupa Valley
Jurupa Valley sits about five miles from the center of Riverside, and the City of Jurupa Valley states that SoCalGas is the natural gas provider for its residents. Water and sewer here are split between Jurupa Community Services District and Rubidoux Community Services District depending on the address, but gas is one utility citywide, so any odor or meter question goes to SoCalGas.
Housing age varies across Jurupa Valley, and the permit division depends on the job, so ask the City about the permit. Plumbing and gas permits go through the City of Jurupa Valley; your plumber can confirm the current process when you book. Properties here range from tract homes to larger lots, and larger lots tend to bring outdoor gas runs to shops, barbecues and detached buildings. Those longer runs need more careful sizing, since gas pressure drops with distance.
Repair, replace or add: how the jobs compare
| Situation | Usual approach |
|---|---|
| Leak at a single joint or valve | Repair the joint, then retest the section |
| Corroded or damaged section | Replace that run of pipe and test the system |
| New appliance indoors | Add a branch with its own shutoff, sized for the load |
| Detached garage, shop or outdoor kitchen | Buried line with tracer wire or a wall-mounted run, plus an outdoor shutoff |
| Several appliances starving for gas | Upsize the main run from the meter |
Signs worth a call
- Odor of gas inside or near the meter (leave, then call from outside)
- Hissing at an appliance hookup
- Soot, scorching or yellow flames at burners
- Pilots that go out repeatedly
- Patches of dead vegetation along a buried line
Timing notes
Cool months are when the furnace and water heater work hardest, so fall is a good time to fix a slow leak or a stuck valve. Outdoor runs are easier in dry weather, but call 811 first so SoCalGas and other utilities mark their lines. Private piping after the meter is not marked by the utility, so point out any old yard lines you know of. In earthquake country, ask the plumber to check water heater strapping and connectors while on site.
