The City of Loma Linda runs its own water and sewer utility, so medical offices, clinics and other businesses here deal with one local agency for both. Building permits are issued at the City's public counter from 8 to 10 a.m. or through its Citizen Self Service portal. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Loma Linda.
What happens when you call
An independent local plumber who handles commercial work in Loma Linda will take the details: the type of building, which fixtures or equipment are affected, whether water or sewage is escaping and when the space can be shut down. Medical and dental offices near Loma Linda University Medical Center usually need work timed around patient hours, so say that up front. Mention any specialty equipment connected to the water supply, such as sterilizers or treatment systems.
What affects the cost
- Specialty fixtures and equipment in medical, dental or lab spaces
- Locating before repair, such as a camera or leak search
- Access through finished ceilings or slab
- After-hours scheduling
- Permits and inspections
Loma Linda's utility and permits
The City handles water production, distribution and facilities maintenance, and its utility services also list sewer facilities maintenance and treatment. Service sign-up and billing go through the Finance Department at (909) 799-2845, Monday through Thursday. For water, sewer or street emergencies after hours, call (909) 356-3805. SoCalGas is the gas utility; the City doesn't provide gas.
The Community Development Department's Building and Safety Division, (909) 799-2836, issues permits at the public counter from 8 to 10 a.m. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday and closed Fridays, so a permit for a Friday job has to be in hand earlier in the week. Plans and permit applications can also go in online through the Citizen Self Service portal.
Loma Linda is built around Loma Linda University and its medical center, and its eastern half, Bryn Mawr, was once a separate unincorporated community. San Timoteo Creek runs through the city from southeast to northwest and has flooded parts of it in the past, so buildings in low spots should keep drains and backwater protection in good shape before winter storms. The median home dates to 1983, so a range of piping ages is common.

- Find the main and any zone shutoffs
- List affected fixtures, rooms or equipment
