Riverside County water agencies require timely repair of leaks on customer-side plumbing, and SB 555 obligates retailers to report water-loss audits and pursue lost-and-unaccounted-for water reduction targets.
Under SB 555 and California Water Code 10608.34, urban water suppliers must submit annual validated water-loss audits using the AWWA M36 methodology. Retailers including CVWD, EMWD, and Western MWD pursue distribution-system leak detection and require customers to repair visible leaks within 72 hours of notice. Continued runoff onto pavement is treated as water waste. Many agencies offer free leak-detection consultations and bill-adjustment programs for sudden underground leaks once a plumber documents the repair.
Persistent leaks may trigger water-waste citations starting around 100 dollars, escalation to flow restrictors, and denial of high-bill adjustments.
