Three Water Sources, Very Different Hardness
The City of Vacaville's 2024 report shows three sources: Lake Berryessa surface water through the Putah South Canal at 58 percent, groundwater from seven deep wells at 33 percent, and North Bay Aqueduct Delta water at 9 percent. Surface water averaged 163 to 176 ppm hardness, while the wells averaged 177 ppm and ran from 76 to 300 ppm.
The mix can change from one tap to the next as the blend shifts. A water heater on a hard stretch collects scale faster, so ask about water heater replacement timing or a water softener if you see crust on fixtures.
Not sure how serious it is?
Call the 24/7 line and describe it. We will tell you what can wait and what cannot.

Local Spots, Practical Reminders
Four places people use to describe where they are, and how that helps the dispatcher.
Downtown near Main and Merchant
Give your cross streets when you call. A downtown business address also tells us to plan for commercial plumbing.
Nut Tree and the outlets
Shops and restaurants here can reach the line at night too. Ask about commercial plumbing if a closed business has a leak.
Peña Adobe Park
A well-known park is a handy landmark when a street name is hard to spell. It helps the dispatcher confirm your area.
Lagoon Valley
Homes near Lagoon Valley Park are inside Vacaville, so the same 24/7 line applies. Give your street address and ZIP when you call.
Heat, Fire Season and Your Plumbing
Summer highs in Vacaville are routinely above 100 degrees, and the August 2020 Hennessey Fire, part of the LNU Lightning Complex, burned farms and homes in the area. Heat and wildfire stress are reasons to know where your main shutoff is before an emergency.
If you evacuate, shutting off the main water valve can limit damage from a pipe that fails while you are gone. Heat also wears on exposed pipe and water heater parts, so older units are worth checking before July.
Vacaville's growth tells a similar story, from about 10,900 residents in 1960 to over 102,000 in 2020. Much of the housing dates from the 1960s through the 1990s, so water heaters, shutoff valves and supply lines in many homes are well past their middle years.
A useful habit is to test your main shutoff once a year. Turn it off, open a faucet to confirm the flow stops, then turn it back on slowly. A valve that is stuck or leaks at the stem is better found on a calm afternoon than during a flood. If it does not turn freely, call and ask about replacing it before the next hot season.

Turn off the water heater
For electric units, flip the breaker. For gas, set the control to off or pilot.

A Quick Word on Who Owns the Sewer Line
Sewer laterals running from a building to the street main are generally the property owner's job. Before digging, a camera check can show where a problem sits. If you suspect a root or break, sewer line repair or a sewer camera inspection are the usual routes.
In Vacaville, repairs and replacements are expected to meet the California Plumbing Code, which is based on the UPC, and the city's building department is the place to ask what a given job needs. Check any plumber's license at cslb.ca.gov, and read more about our approach on the about page.
