Plumbing in Calimesa: what to know
Calimesa got its name in 1929 - a blend of "California" and "mesa" - and spent most of its history as a small rural town of single-family homes and ranches at the western edge of the San Gorgonio Pass. It incorporated in 1990 and still has that small-town feel, with older houses near Calimesa Boulevard, several manufactured home communities such as Plantation on the Lake, and newer subdivisions. Elevations run from roughly 2,300 to 3,500 feet, so on hillside lots, a working pressure regulator matters.
Under a regional water board order adopted in 1973, septic systems in the Yucaipa-Calimesa area were to be replaced with sewer connections by 1988, so many older homes have sewer laterals that were added long after the house was built. Growth is now picking up. Summerwind Ranch, approved for more than 3,800 homes, began selling lots in 2018, and new homes like these are commonly plumbed with PEX. Water service is split between Yucaipa Valley Water District, which also provides most of the city's sewer service, and South Mesa Water Company, a mutual water company serving parts of Calimesa and Yucaipa since 1912.

Calimesa plumbing FAQs
Who provides water in Calimesa?+
It depends on where you live. Yucaipa Valley Water District serves much of the city and provides most of its sewer service, South Mesa Water Company serves other areas, and Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District serves a few small portions. Your water bill shows which one is yours. Leaks and repairs on the house side of the meter are what we handle.
Do you work on manufactured homes in Calimesa's parks?+
Yes. We repair supply lines, drain lines and water heaters in manufactured homes, including the plumbing underneath. Many parks own the utility lines up to each home's connection, so we'll help you figure out whether the problem is on your side or the park's before any work starts.
The pipes in my hillside home bang when a faucet shuts off. What causes that?+
Often it's high water pressure. On hillside lots, street pressure can run high, and the pressure regulator near your main shutoff is what brings it down. When it wears out, pipes hammer and hoses and valves fail early. We can test your pressure and replace the regulator if it's no longer holding.
