Paradise Valley homes get water from EPCOR, the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale or Berneil Water Company depending on the address, so most homes here are on a public system with no private well pump. On large lots, though, booster pumps and long service lines are common sources of trouble. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Paradise Valley.
What happens when you call
This site is a free referral service, not a plumbing company. The number connects you with an independent plumber who works in Paradise Valley. Have your water bill handy so you can say which of the four providers serves you, and mention whether the house has a booster pump, a pool or an irrigation system tied into the supply. Those details shape the visit.
A plumber will usually measure pressure at an outdoor spigot, check the regulator, look at any booster pump's switch and tank, and watch the meter for signs of a leak on the long line between the street and the house.
What drives the cost
- Length of the service line on a one-acre or larger lot
- Access through hardscape, pool decks and mature landscaping
- Booster pump repair or replacement, including the pressure tank
- Regulator and valve work in a home with hard water
- Permits through the Town's Community Development Department, Building division, applied for through its online Citizen Portal
Paradise Valley conditions
The Town runs no water utility. Its provider map splits Paradise Valley among EPCOR, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Berneil Water Company. EPCOR's Paradise Valley district pumps groundwater from its own wells, treats it at an arsenic removal facility and also draws on Phoenix's 24th Street Treatment Plant through an interconnect. EPCOR reports hardness of about 12 grains per gallon in that district. In every case, the wells belong to the utility.
Most of the Town is zoned for single-family homes on lots of at least one acre around Camelback and Mummy Mountains. Long service lines and hillside sites are where booster pumps tend to turn up, and a failing booster behaves much like a failing well pump. Many properties are also not on municipal sewer and use private onsite wastewater systems overseen by Maricopa County.
Each provider handles its own side of the meter: EPCOR at 800-383-0834, Phoenix at 602-261-8000 for emergencies, Scottsdale at 480-312-5650, and Berneil at 480-947-5044 for emergencies.
Before the plumber arrives
- Confirm your provider from your bill
- Check the booster pump breaker and tank gauge, if you have one
- Note whether the pool autofill or irrigation runs at the same time
- Clear a path to the main shutoff and regulator
