City of Upland Public Works supplies water to Upland homes, mostly from local groundwater wells it and its partner water companies operate, so a typical house has no well pump. A plumber can test pump equipment if your property has it, and on city water the fix is usually a regulator, service line or fixture. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Upland.
Signs something is wrong with the supply
- A slow fade in pressure over a few weeks
- Pipes that knock when the washer or a sprinkler valve shuts off
- A wet patch or sinking soil between the meter and the house
- One bathroom weak while the kitchen is fine
- On a well: no water, rapid clicking at the switch or a pump that runs constantly
How Upland gets its water
The City of Upland's water quality page says local groundwater meets about 80 percent of customer needs. It comes from City wells and wells operated by San Antonio Water Company and West End Consolidated Water Company in the Chino, Cucamonga and Six Basins. San Antonio Canyon surface water is treated at the city's San Antonio Canyon plant, and imported State Water Project water is treated at the Water Facilities Authority plant and delivered through MWD and IEUA.
All of that pumping happens upstream of your meter. Most Upland homes are on utility water rather than private wells. If you are a city customer, there is no pump of yours to repair, and weak flow almost always traces to equipment on your side: the pressure regulator, the buried line from the meter, a stuck valve or scaled fixtures.
The City handles City-side leaks and its water meters. Exactly where the customer's piping begins can vary, so if a leak sits near the meter, call Public Works first at (909) 291-2930 and let them confirm whose it is.
What affects cost
- Swapping a regulator compared with repairing the line feeding it
- Finding a buried leak and how much hardscape sits over it
- Fixture cartridges or valves clogged with debris or scale
- For a private pump: which component failed, how deep it sits and the tank's condition
