The City of Norco supplies water through its own system, mostly purchased desalted groundwater blended with water from city wells, so a Norco home on city water has no well pump. Ranch properties often have long runs to barns and troughs, and a plumber can repair those lines or test any pump equipment on site. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Norco.
What happens when you call
This site is a free referral service, not a plumbing company. The number connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Norco. Be ready to describe the property: a house only, or a house with barns, corrals or arena water lines. Say whether the problem is at every fixture, only outdoors, or only at one building, and whether any pump or pressure tank is on the property. Outbuilding lines are a common source of hidden leaks and pressure loss on larger lots.
What affects the cost
- Length and route of lines to barns, troughs and outbuildings
- Finding a buried leak across pasture, arena footing or concrete
- Frost-damaged hose bibs and exposed outdoor piping
- Regulator replacement on the main house line
- For a private pump: the part that failed, its depth and the tank
Local conditions in Norco
Norco, Horsetown USA, is a semi-rural equestrian city with corrals, ranches and riding trails used in place of most sidewalks. Its city water system serves about 26,000 people through roughly 7,500 connections. The supply is mostly purchased treated groundwater, largely from the Arlington Desalter, plus the Chino Desalter, the City of Riverside and Jurupa Community Services District, along with groundwater from the City's own Chino subbasin wells in southwest Norco and a little treated surface water from Corona. Those wells are municipal. Most Norco homes are on utility water rather than private wells.
Norco water is disinfected with chlorine. Hardness runs from 54 to 290 mg/L depending on source, averaging about 132 mg/L, so float valves on stock waterers and fixture screens can scale up over time.
Billing and service questions go to the City's Utilities Division at (951) 270-5654. If a problem looks like it is at the meter or in the street, call there first; lines running from the house out to barns, arenas and troughs are on the property side and are a plumber's job.
Checklist before the plumber arrives
- Shut off the valve feeding any outbuilding line you suspect is leaking
- Read the meter with the house and all troughs off
- Look for unusually green or soggy ground along buried runs
- Know that permits go through City of Norco Building & Safety at City Hall, (951) 735-3900
