Orange County water retailers operate leak hotlines and require prompt repair of customer-side leaks, with statewide California regulations also prohibiting visible water waste, runoff, and unrepaired plumbing leaks.
Under State Water Resources Control Board emergency regulations, all California water suppliers must enforce against waste, including unrepaired customer-side leaks, runoff onto sidewalks or streets, and washing hardscape with potable water. Orange County retailers like East Orange County Water District, Yorba Linda Water District, and Moulton Niguel publish leak-report forms and offer free water-use audits. Customers receiving high-bill alerts often qualify for one-time leak adjustments if repairs are documented. OCWD coordinates regional groundwater monitoring to detect underground main breaks that may not surface visibly.
Failure to repair a known leak after notice can trigger fines, flow restrictors, or shutoff. Most retailers issue warnings first and offer technical help.
