Tolleson is a small West Valley city, but the plumbing in its businesses faces the same demands as anywhere in the metro: busy restrooms, kitchen grease, hard water and summer heat. The city runs its own water and sewer, which keeps the contacts simple.
What to do now
- Close the fixture valve or the building main if water is spreading.
- If anyone smells gas, get everyone out first, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside.
- For a problem at the meter or in the street, call the City of Tolleson at 623-936-7111 .
- Stop using drains that are backing up, including dish machines and floor sinks.
- Note when the problem began and which fixtures or areas are affected.
Symptoms and likely causes

|---|---|
| Floor drains or kitchen lines backing up | Grease, debris or a damaged section of the drain |
| Hot water running out early | Sediment in the tank or a failing heating component |
| Crusty aerators and sticky flush valves | Mineral deposits |
| Water at the base of a backflow assembly | Worn check or relief valve parts |
| Bills rising with no change in use | A hidden leak or a running fixture |
Cost factors
Tolleson's water comes from city wells treated with electro-dialysis reversal and from finished water the city buys from Phoenix through two connections. Its report lists chlorine and chloramine disinfection, and the 2022 report put total hardness at 92 to 200 ppm. Equipment that heats or chills water, such as water heaters, ice machines and dish machines, collects scale over time, so descaling or treatment can be part of the job. The city keeps a service line materials inventory you can view through ADEQ's lead and copper page.
Permits come from Development Services (Permits and Construction) at the Tolleson Civic Center, 9055 W. Van Buren Street, and can be filed online through Civic Access. The city requires permits for new buildings, remodels, additions and improvements, so a restroom or kitchen renovation needs one. Backflow testing requirements weren't confirmed, so ask the city what applies to your irrigation, fire or process connections. Other cost factors are the size of the building, after-hours scheduling, how hard the problem is to find and repairs to slab or finishes after access.
