Plumbing in San Jacinto: what to know
San Jacinto incorporated in 1888, the same year the railroad reached town, which makes it the oldest city in the San Jacinto Valley. The streets around downtown, first laid out around Five Points in the 1880s, still have the city's oldest houses alongside mid-century homes. In those, it's common to find galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains and sewer laterals that have been patched more than once, and homes that were added on to over the years often mix several kinds of pipe.
Most of the city is much newer. San Jacinto's population nearly doubled between 2000 and 2010, from about 24,000 to more than 44,000, as new tracts spread across the valley floor, and those homes are mostly copper or PEX on slab foundations. They're now old enough that original water heaters, pressure regulators and supply hoses are wearing out. Water service is split: the city's own system, fed by four wells, serves roughly 40 percent of residents, while Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District serve the outer parts of town.

San Jacinto plumbing FAQs
Is my San Jacinto home on city water or a water district?+
It depends on the address. The City of San Jacinto serves roughly 40 percent of residents, and Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District serve the outer areas. Your water bill tells you which one you have, and the city has a boundary map online. Either way, plumbing on the house side of the meter is yours, and that's what we work on.
My house was built during the 2000s building boom. What should I keep an eye on?+
Homes from that period are now old enough for original parts to start failing: water heaters, pressure regulators, washer hoses and the supply lines under sinks and toilets. If your water heater is original, plan its replacement before it leaks. We can check your water pressure and the condition of your valves and connections and tell you what's worth replacing now.
Does my water heater need earthquake straps?+
Yes. California requires water heaters to be braced or strapped so they can't tip or shift in an earthquake, and San Jacinto sits right on the San Jacinto Fault. Straps keep the tank from falling and breaking its water and gas connections. We check the strapping whenever we service or install a water heater and can add or replace it if needed.
