Burst Pipe Repair in Tolleson, AZ

Tolleson basics

Tolleson is a small city about 11 miles from downtown Phoenix. The City of Tolleson provides both water and sewer service and bills for both. Much of its supply is finished water bought from the City of Phoenix, with city wells treated by electro-dialysis reversal. The city's 2022 report listed total hardness of 92 to 200 ppm in its system. City Hall customer service is 623-936-7111. Tolleson keeps a service line materials inventory that can be viewed through ADEQ's lead and copper page.

First steps

1. Close the main valve where the water line enters the house.
2. If it is stuck, use the curb valve in the meter box, carefully.
3. Open a low faucet or hose bib so the remaining water drains out.
4. Turn the water heater off at the breaker, or set a gas unit to pilot.
5. Keep children and pets away from water near outlets or cords.
6. Photograph the damage, then move rugs, furniture and electronics.
7. If water is coming up at the meter or in the street, contact the City of Tolleson.
