When many people think of their plumbing, they consider only
the pipes inside their home. However, the plumbing for which you are
responsible actually includes the service line -- the pipe that originates from
the connection to your meter vault to your home or building.
Company Service Line
Owned and maintained by RLCWA, the service line extends from
the water main to the meter vault.
Curb Stop
Owned and maintained by RLCWA, the curb stop is a valve that
can be opened and closed to control the supply of water to the property.
There are a few basic things that every property owner
should know about their plumbing system:
- Know the location of your meter vault.
- Know the location of your main shut off valve in case of
an emergency. This will allow you to shut off the water to your home.
- Know how to protect your plumbing from severe weather
conditions that can result in expensive repairs.
- Repair any leaks to avoid increased water bills.
- Know how to read your water meter.
