Our Sacramento and Northern California Coverage Area

River Water and Deep Wells

The City of Sacramento draws about 80 percent from the American and Sacramento rivers, Roseville and Folsom treat Folsom Lake water, Davis and Woodland switched to Sacramento River water in 2016 and Chico and Redding rely on deep aquifers and lake water. Check your bill for your provider.

Extreme Summer Heat

Triple-digit summers crack plastic fittings and bake hose bibs. Shade or insulate exposed lines and set the water heater at a safe temperature.

Shade Trees and Clay Laterals

Mature trees send roots toward clay laterals in older neighborhoods. A camera run shows whether repeating clogs point to roots, a belly or a break.

Flat Land, Levees and Seepage

Low land behind levees holds groundwater. Sump pumps, drains and sewer laterals work harder after storms, so keep cleanouts clear.
