Valley Floor and Foothills
Plumbing in Placer County changes with elevation. Roseville and Rocklin are newer slab homes where water heaters and pressure regulators are the usual jobs. Auburn and the foothill towns have older houses, steeper lots, higher water pressure and colder nights that freeze exposed pipe. Above the agency's lines, homes rely on wells and septic systems.
When the Canal System Is Down
- Much of the county's water moves through PG&E canals and flumes.
- Repairs to that system can limit supply and bring calls to conserve.
- Fix running toilets and irrigation leaks first.
- Know your main shutoff so a break does not waste water during a shortage.
