Common Plumbing Problems in Simi Valley Homes
Simi Valley has 2 water suppliers. The city's Waterworks District No. 8 serves about 60 percent of the city, and Golden State Water Company, a private utility, serves the other 40 percent.
Both buy imported water from Calleguas Municipal Water District. The city's district also runs 2 wells and a small treatment plant in Tapo Canyon. The median Simi Valley home was built in 1980.
District Water or Golden State Water
Your bill shows whether the city's waterworks district or Golden State Water serves you. Rates and customer service differ, but both deliver the same imported water from Calleguas. Call your provider for a meter leak or low pressure on the whole street. A leak between the meter and the house, or under the slab, is the owner's.
Earthquake Readiness for Plumbing
- Strap the water heater at the top and bottom thirds.
- Know where the gas meter shutoff is and keep a wrench near it.
- Flexible connectors on gas appliances should be in good condition.
- After a strong quake, check for leaks before turning the water heater back on.
Slab Leaks

What Affects Plumbing Costs in Simi Valley
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Simi Valley.
- Slab access. Rerouting overhead and opening the floor are priced differently.
- Pressure. A failed regulator is fixed first, or the repair won't last.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
