Paradise Valley is mostly single-family homes on acre lots, so commercial plumbing here is a smaller share of the work, and the utility setup varies by address: four water providers, two sewer systems and many properties not on municipal sewer. Permits come from the Town Community Development Department. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Paradise Valley.
How a call works
Describe the property, what isn't working and whether people are on site. You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who serves Paradise Valley. It helps to know which water provider and sewer system serve the address before the visit, because that decides who to call for meter or main problems and which rules apply. The plumber inspects first, then explains the options and pricing before starting.
What sets the cost
- Size of the building and the number of fixtures or systems involved
- Whether the building drains to a public sewer or a private onsite wastewater system
- Diagnostic work such as camera inspection or leak tracing
- Scheduling around services, classes or events
- Town permits and inspections
- Restoring stone, tile, landscaping or hardscape after access
Utilities and permits in Paradise Valley
The Town doesn't operate a water utility. Depending on location, water comes from EPCOR, the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale or Berneil Water Company, and the Town publishes a provider boundary map. Each provider has its own emergency number: EPCOR 800-383-0834, Phoenix 602-261-8000, Scottsdale 480-312-5650 and Berneil 480-947-5044. EPCOR's Paradise Valley district uses groundwater with an arsenic removal facility plus a connection to Phoenix's 24th Street plant, and reports hardness of about 12 grains per gallon. Backflow rules follow whichever provider serves the meter, so ask that utility what it requires.
Sewer is also split. Connected properties drain either to the City of Phoenix or to the Town system, which Scottsdale operates (its around-the-clock line is 480-312-5650). Many properties aren't on municipal sewer and use private onsite wastewater systems overseen by Maricopa County. Most of the Town is zoned for single-family homes on lots of at least one acre, so building lines can be long.
The Community Development Department's Building division issues plumbing permits through the Town's Citizen Portal. It's at 6401 E. Lincoln Drive (480-348-3692), and it does not accept submittals or payments after 3:30 p.m. Southwest Gas is available only in some parts of town. Where it serves, a gas smell means leave the building first, then call 911 and Southwest Gas at 877-860-6020 from outside.
Checklist before the visit
- Know your water provider and whether the property is on sewer
