Tempe proper
The largest share of calls come from Tempe. The City of Tempe treats water at two plants and draws on Salt River Project and Central Arizona Project supplies, with wells adding supply. The homepage explains which problems count as emergencies and how the first call goes.
Where the city's responsibility ends and the private lateral begins can differ from one property to the next. Ask the City of Tempe to confirm the boundary before you pay for a repair or a camera inspection.
How coverage is confirmed
The dispatcher records your address and the problem, then hands the call to a nearby contractor. Since availability differs by contractor and street, treat the city pages as orientation, not assurance.
Renters should tell the landlord or manager first and state who owns the unit during the call. A gas odor is the exception: exit the building and dial 911 or the gas utility from a safe distance before contacting the plumbing line.
Common questions
Coverage questions
Share the address when you call. The dispatcher can check whether a contractor works that street.
Most Valley cities operate their own water and sewer systems, though a few outlying neighborhoods use private companies. The name on your water bill answers it.
In most cases the utility looks after its main and the meter, while the owner looks after pipe past the meter. Where exactly the line falls varies, so check with the utility before approving digging.
