Stockton water customers must promptly repair leaks on their side of the meter, and may report city or Cal Water main leaks for emergency response, supporting Delta water conservation goals.
Cal Water and the City Municipal Utilities Department require customers to maintain service lines downstream of the meter and repair leaks promptly upon notice. Visible street main leaks, fire hydrant leaks, and broken backflow assemblies should be reported via 24-hour utility lines for emergency dispatch. Continued leaks may result in shutoff after notice. Customer-side leak adjustments may be available once and only after repair documentation, helping mitigate large bills.
Failure to repair after notice can lead to service shutoff, charges for wasted water, and potential code enforcement for property maintenance violations associated with standing water.
