Our Tucson and Southern Arizona Coverage Area

Tucson Water and Recharged Colorado River Water

Tucson Water delivers Central Arizona Project water blended with groundwater and has managed PFAS in some wells. Check your bill for your provider and its notices. The line from the meter and everything inside belong to the owner.

Very Hard Water and Slab Leaks

Scale builds fast in heaters, and copper under slabs can pit and leak. Flush tank heaters at least yearly and watch the meter for hidden leaks.

Monsoon Washes and Drainage

Summer storms flood washes and low yards. Keep drains and downspouts clear and check outdoor backflow valves.

Older Adobe and Mid-Century Homes

Older Tucson homes often have galvanized supply, cast iron drains and clay laterals, and adobe walls make repairs slower.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tucson and Southern Arizona Plumbing

Who offers emergency plumbing in Tucson and Southern Arizona?

LocalPlumber.us connects you with vetted, insured local plumbers around the clock. Shut off the main valve if water is flowing, call, and give your ZIP code when prompted.

Where does Tucson’s water come from?

Colorado River water delivered by the Central Arizona Project and recharged, blended with groundwater. Your bill and the annual report confirm the details.

What is a slab leak and how do I spot one?

It is a leak in a pipe under the concrete floor. Signs include a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water with every tap off and a meter that keeps moving. Leak detection can find it without tearing up the floor.

Is water in this area hard?

Yes. Arizona water is very hard, whether it comes from the Colorado River or groundwater, so scale builds fast in heaters. Flush tank heaters at least yearly and check your provider’s water quality report.

How do I get plumbing ready for monsoon season?

Know where the main shutoff is, keep gutters and yard drains clear and check outdoor backflow valves. After a storm, check for low pressure and have a plumber look at any wet spot that does not dry.

What should renters do about a leak?

Report it to the landlord in writing, keep a copy and shut off the fixture stop if water is flowing.
