San Bernardino County water districts require customers to repair visible leaks within 5 to 10 days of notice. Persistent leaks running into gutters or sidewalks during drought are treated as water waste and trigger escalating fines.
California state water-waste prohibitions apply year-round and prohibit washing impervious surfaces, allowing runoff onto streets, and operating broken irrigation systems. Local water districts inspect and tag leaks at meters, sprinklers, and customer-side service lines. Repairs must be completed within posted deadlines, generally 5 to 10 days for visible leaks and shorter during drought emergencies. Mobile home parks, master-metered apartments, and commercial properties have heightened obligations. Water agencies may shut off service for unrepaired leaks creating wasted-water nuisance conditions.
Notice tags first, then escalating fines from 50 dollars up to several hundred per day. Service may be shut off until repaired. Continued runoff creates drainage and sanitation code violations.
