Plumbing in Perris: what to know
Perris was founded in 1885 as a stop on the California Southern Railroad and incorporated in 1911, and the older homes around downtown include early houses and post-war cottages. Many still have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains and aging sewer laterals, often with decades of patchwork repairs. Water service in the city changed recently: in October 2024, the city's downtown and north Perris water and sewer systems were consolidated into Eastern Municipal Water District, so EMWD now serves the whole city.
Most of Perris, though, is much newer. Planned communities like May Ranch and the Villages of Avalon filled in during the 2000s, along with many other tracts, and those homes are mostly copper or PEX on slab foundations. The groundwater under the Perris Valley is brackish, so EMWD treats some of it at its desalters, but the water delivered to homes is still hard enough to leave scale in water heaters and on fixtures.

Perris plumbing FAQs
I used to get water from the City of Perris. Who do I call now?+
Since October 2024, Eastern Municipal Water District has served the customers who were on the city's downtown and north Perris systems. Contact EMWD for billing, meters and service lines on their side. Leaks, clogs and repairs on the house side of the meter are what we handle.
My older Perris home has rusty water and low pressure. Do I need new pipes?+
Those are classic signs of corroded galvanized pipe. Sometimes only a section is bad, and sometimes repiping is the long-term fix. We'll check pressure at the meter and at your fixtures and tell you honestly what needs to be done now and what can wait.
How quickly can you get to Perris?+
We're open 24/7, and our office is in San Bernardino. Emergency arrival is typically within 1-2 hours depending on location, traffic and call volume. If a pipe has burst, shut off the main valve while you wait.
