Check for Leaks

Walnut Valley Water District is here to help you maintain a water-efficient lifestyle. That includes resources and tools to empower you. Fixing a leak in and around your home can result in water savings and money saved on your monthly water bill.

If you notice irregularities on your monthly water bill, such as high usage in the fall and winter months even though you have implemented conservation measures – you may have a leak. Speak with a Customer Service Representative to learn more about your water usage by calling (909) 595-7554.

How To Check For Leaks

To check if you have a leak, turn off all faucets in your home, check your water meter located outside, wait 15 minutes, and check the meter again. If the sweep hand has moved, or the reading has changed, you may have a leak.

Repairing Leaks

Leaks in and around your home are a common cause of water waste and increase your monthly water bill. Leaks should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home and avoid costly water bills. Walnut Valley Water District does not fix leaks inside your home or leaks associated with your landscape/outdoor irrigation. The District’s purview extends from the water meter out, anything associated past the water meter (your home) is the customer’s responsibility.

Before any scheduled repairs you may have for leaks in and around your home, please refer to the meter connection diagrams for your home. It is important that you or your repair person properly connects to the water meter according to the District’s standard to avoid customer liability of any damage or alteration. If you are unsure of where to make the water meter connection, please call us at (909) 595-7554.
