Peoria's utilities

The City of Peoria Water Services Department runs the water utility, and its customer service and billing line is (623) 773-7160, open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Wastewater is also a city service: Peoria operates its own water reclamation facilities, with the Beardsley plant serving the northwest part of the city and the Jomax plant serving Vistancia. A backup that affects only your house is usually in the private line, which a plumber clears; a blocked main belongs to the city.

We did not find an official page naming Peoria's gas utility, so check your gas bill and keep that number where you can find it. If you smell gas, leave first, then call 911 and that utility from outside.

The city stretches from Old Town Peoria north toward Lake Pleasant, with newer master-planned neighborhoods along the Loop 303 corridor. The median home was built around 1998, so many emergency calls involve water heaters, supply hoses and shutoff valves reaching the end of their service life.

Cost factors

• Timing. Night and weekend calls usually have a higher service fee.
• Location of the failure. Exposed pipe is faster to fix; a slab or wall leak takes locating and opening up.
• Permits. Peoria says a homeowner replacing a water heater must have the job permitted through its Development and Engineering Department, and residential gas line permits are reviewed over the counter.
• Damage. The longer water ran, the more drying and cleanup may be needed beyond the plumbing.

What happens on the call

You'll be connected with an independent plumber who covers Peoria. Have the address ready, along with whether you've closed the main and what you can see. Ask about after-hours rates up front. Arrival depends on the time and the plumber's schedule, and no specific time is promised.
