In a Jurupa Valley emergency, close your main valve, and for a gas smell, leave and call 911 and SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200. Water and sewer come from either Jurupa Community Services District or Rubidoux Community Services District, depending on the address. For leaks and backups on your property, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Jurupa Valley.
Two districts, one city
Jurupa Valley sits about 5 miles from Riverside, and unlike most nearby cities it does not run its own water system. Two community services districts split the city. Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD), founded in 1956, provides drinking water and wastewater service across much of Jurupa Valley and also Eastvale. Rubidoux Community Services District (RCSD) provides water and sewer in the rest. Knowing which one you have saves time when the problem might be on the public side: JCSD is (951) 685-7434, and after business hours it takes water and wastewater emergencies on that same main line; RCSD is (951) 684-7580.
JCSD has a Service Line Upgrade Project replacing aging polyethylene water service lines in front of homes in its area with stronger piping. If a leak is near the street on a JCSD address, it is worth calling the district before a plumber starts digging.
Plumber, district or both?
| Problem | Usually handled by |
|---|---|
| Main break or water in the street | JCSD or RCSD |
| Sewer overflowing from a street manhole | JCSD or RCSD |
| Leak between the house and the property line | A plumber (confirm with your district if near the meter) |
| Backup in your own drains only | A plumber |
| Leaking or failed water heater | A plumber |
Signs of a real emergency
- Water spraying or pouring from a pipe, valve or appliance
- Sewage in a tub, shower or floor drain
- The sound of running water with every fixture off
- Wet drywall or a sagging ceiling under a bathroom
- A gas smell (leave first, then call 911 and SoCalGas)
Timing and the time of year
Hot summers drive heavy irrigation use, and buried sprinkler mains and hose connections are common failure points. Winter storms are occasional but can overload drains, and on rare frosty nights exposed pipes can crack. Permits for replacement work, such as a new water heater or a rebuilt yard line, go through the City of Jurupa Valley, and a plumber can tell you when one applies. Evening and weekend calls usually cost more, so ask about pricing up front. Arrival depends on the hour and the plumber's workload; no time is promised.
