California Water Code requires customers to repair detected leaks promptly, and Thousand Oaks Water Services offers leak adjustment programs for unusually high bills caused by hidden leaks.
Under California Water Code 365 and local conservation rules, Thousand Oaks customers must repair visible leaks within five days of notification by the city. Hidden leaks discovered through high consumption may qualify for a one-time bill adjustment if the customer documents the repair within 60 days. Persistent leaks lead to flow restrictors. Public Works also responds to broken mains, fire hydrant leaks, and irrigation breaks reported by residents. The city offers free customer-side leak detection consultations for households with water bills suddenly spiking.
Notice gives five days to fix visible leaks. Continued leaks $100 first violation, escalating to flow restrictor installation and water shutoff for repeat offenders.
