Consumer Tips

If There's a Problem with Your Water

CPUD has responsibility for your water service to the meter box. If you have a water problem within your property or structure, it is your responsibility to address the problem.

If there is a leak on your property, attempt to find the shutoff near the source of the leak, whether the water heater, the bathroom, the kitchen, or an exterior leak. The master valve for your service will be located at the meter box.

If there is a leak in the street call the CPUD office right away at 209-754-9442.
