Laveen developments inside the City of Phoenix connect to City water, so most Laveen homes have no private well pump. Some parcels are still under Maricopa County, and those can be served differently, so the first job is confirming how your property gets its water. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Laveen.
Signs to take seriously
- A house that goes dry while the electricity stays on
- Pressure that has slipped over months across every fixture
- A pressure tank gauge that keeps falling, if you have one
- Rapid clicking from a pressure switch
- A soggy strip in the yard along the water line
- A water bill that jumped for no clear reason
How Laveen gets its water
Laveen Village sits between South Mountain and the Salt River and is one of Phoenix's urban villages, annexed largely from the mid-1990s on. Newer subdivisions inside Phoenix, such as the McClellan Ranch community, connect to the City water system. That supply is about 97 to 99 percent surface water from the Salt, Verde and Colorado rivers, with about 2 percent groundwater from City wells. Those wells are the City's, so a Phoenix-served Laveen home has a meter and regulator, not a pump.
The area has kept a farming, dairy and equestrian character, and some land remains under Maricopa County zoning. County-island parcels may be served differently, so check your bill and your property before assuming anything. If you find a wellhead and pressure tank on your lot, the well checks on this page apply.
City water here is hard, 10 to 17.6 grains per gallon by the City's report. That scale builds up in regulators and valves, and since most Laveen homes were built in 2000 or later, a failed regulator is a more common cause of low pressure than worn-out pipe.
What affects the price
- Regulator, fixture or buried line versus real well equipment
- Line length on larger lots and horse properties
- For a private well: pump depth, tank condition and wiring
- Permits from the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department for parcels inside the city
