Rules & Regulations
Water Service Regulations

Fire Service Accounts
Fire services are separate from your regular water service. They are installed at locations and structures as required by local fire and building codes.
Water from a private fire service—a fire hydrant or other fire protection facility—is not to be used except in the case of a fire or mandatory fire equipment testing with District approval. Using water from a fire service at any other time is unauthorized and prohibited by this District. The consequence of using water from a fire service is a severe increase in the consumption rate charged for the water used from that fire service. In addition to charging the increased consumption rate for using water from a fire service, the District also has the authority to impose a fine (see Exhibit C). If water is used from a private fire service in violation of District regulations, the District may discontinue service and remove the connection.
Your Water Meter
Your water meter records the amount of water that flows through it and into your home. The meter is read once a month to determine the amount of your bill. You can read it more frequently to help manage your water use. Visit the Meter Department for additional information about your meter, the meter box, and your water service line.
Please remember that your water meter is the property of the Water District. Do not attempt to turn the meter on or off. Doing so could result in charges for tampering with District property and charges for unauthorized use of water.
In the event that your meter needs to be turned off for repairs, contact the Customer Service Department at (909) 875-1804. After-hours emergency service is available.

To report a leak during non-business hours, please call (909) 875-1804 and a representative from our answering service will assist you.
Please have the following information ready:
- Your name
- Contact phone number
- Location of the leak
- A brief description of the severity of the leak
Service Line/Street Leaks
We’re responsible for what is called the street side of the water meter. This includes all water mains in the street and continues through the District’s distribution system.
If you notice a water leak in the street or in the area of your water meter, call Customer Service at (909) 875-1804 to report it.
Invisible or Slow Leaks
To check for invisible or slow leaks, follow these steps:
- Turn off all water taps inside and outside your home.
- Record the meter reading and return in two to three hours to check for movement. If the meter reading has changed, you may have a leak.
- Many meters have a small red or black triangle or circle on the meter face, designed to detect even small leaks. If this triangle or round dial is moving when you have all water off inside and outside your home, you may have a leak.
- Turn on sprinklers and check for broken sprinkler heads.
