The City of Chino Hills provides water to most homes here, blending imported water with groundwater from city and partner wells, so a private well pump is uncommon. A plumber can test any pump equipment on your property and, on city water, check the regulator, service line and fixtures. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Chino Hills.
What happens when you call
This free referral service connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Chino Hills; it is not a plumbing company. The plumber will want to know who bills you for water, whether the problem is no water or low water, and whether your home has any pump on site, such as a booster for an upper floor or a hillside lot. A pump call starts with the electrical supply, controls and pressure tank. A city-water call starts with a pressure reading and a look at the meter and house shutoff.
Cost factors
- A failed pressure switch or capacitor versus a worn pump motor
- Where the pump sits and how easy it is to reach
- A pressure tank that needs recharging or replacing
- Regulator replacement or a leak on the onsite water supply line
- Any permit through City of Chino Hills Building Services
Local conditions in Chino Hills
The City provides water and sewer service. Its 2025 water quality report describes imported State Water Project water from Metropolitan, treated and delivered through the Water Facilities Authority and Monte Vista Water District, blended with groundwater from City wells, Monte Vista Water District wells and Chino Basin Desalter Authority wells. Those wells belong to the agencies. Most Chino Hills homes are on utility water rather than private wells.
One wrinkle: some properties are sewer-only accounts with the City and get their water from a separate agency, which the City's page does not name. If your water bill does not come from Chino Hills, that other agency handles anything on its side of the meter.
The City's service line inventory found no lead service lines in its service area, and it disinfects with chloramine. The City's fee schedule lists installation or repair of an onsite water supply line as a plumbing permit item, so a service line job will likely need one through Building Services.
Before the plumber arrives
- Check whether neighbors have normal pressure
- Read the meter with all fixtures off
- If you have a booster pump, note whether it hums, clicks or stays silent
- Keep the City's after-hours number handy: (909) 364-2860
