Peoria itself
Most calls start in the city of Peoria. According to the City of Peoria's Water Services pages, the supply comes primarily from renewable sources: Central Arizona Project water, Salt River Project water, reclaimed water for parks and landscaping, and recovered water pumped from storage underground. See the homepage to learn what qualifies as an emergency and what happens on the first call.
The city's water FAQ also answers who is responsible for sewer backups and whether a softener setting needs changing. Read those answers on the city site, because the line between utility and owner can differ by address.
How coverage works
Describe the problem and your location to the dispatcher and a contractor nearby picks up the job. Since availability hinges on the contractor and your address, these town pages outline the area but promise nothing.
Renters ought to contact the landlord or property manager first and give the owner's name during the call. Gas is the exception. Leave the building and reach 911 or the gas company from a safe distance, then think about plumbing.
Common questions
Service area questions
Give your street address to the dispatcher, who knows which contractors take which areas.
It varies across the West Valley. Glendale runs its own water system for most of the city while EPCOR serves the Loop 303 area, and Peoria draws on Central Arizona Project and Salt River Project supplies. Your water bill names your provider.
Typically the utility keeps its main and the meter while you keep the pipe running to the house. The dividing point differs, so confirm with the utility before paying for digging.
