Where do we get the water?

There are dozens of different water districts in Orange County and the Inland Empire.  Though water is relatively cheap, each district decides how to account for, meter and bill for water usage.  Not making arrangements with them and "stealing" water can result in stiff fines and even arrest.

To get water legally, we contact the appropriate water district to rent a "floating" water meter.  This involves us putting up a deposit of $500 to $1,000 to ensure the meters safe return.

The cost for the meter rental, deposit and water will be included in the simple flat fee proposal.

We have been renting meters for 30 years, so it's a headache your community can avoid.

A small minority of districts refuse to allow meters to "float", i.e. let us move it from hydrant to hydrant.  This creates a challenge, but not necessarily an insurmountable one.  This would be explained in our proposal.

We always use the proper wrenches and Eddie Valves as required by the water districts.
