Plumbing in Chino Hills: what to know
Chino Hills was mostly ranch and dairy land until the mid-1970s, then grew quickly through the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporated in 1991. A large share of homes date from that boom, which puts their original water heaters, valves and supply lines well past their expected life, and some homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s may have polybutylene supply lines. Older pockets are very different: Los Serranos began as a 1920s golf resort with narrow lots, and Sleepy Hollow in Carbon Canyon started as a 1920s cabin community.
The hills shape the water system. The City of Chino Hills supplies water through a system of many reservoirs and pumping stations spread across separate pressure zones, so street pressure varies a lot from one neighborhood to the next. Homes in high-pressure areas depend on a working pressure regulator to protect pipes, hoses and fixtures. Chino Hills is also in the Inland Empire Utilities Agency area, where new or replacement self-regenerating salt water softeners are not allowed.

Chino Hills plumbing FAQs
Why does my water pressure seem too high?+
Because Chino Hills is so hilly, some neighborhoods get very high pressure at the street. Your pressure regulator, usually near where the main line enters the house, is supposed to bring it down. Regulators wear out, and when they do, faucets can hammer and hoses and valves fail early. We can test your pressure and replace the regulator if needed.
How do I know if my Chino Hills home has polybutylene pipe?+
Polybutylene is usually gray flexible plastic pipe, often stamped PB2110, and was used in some homes built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. Look where lines connect to the water heater or under sinks. If you find it, we can inspect it and talk through repiping options.
Who provides water in Chino Hills?+
The City of Chino Hills provides water and sewer service. Billing, meter and main-line questions go to the city. Leaks, clogs, water heaters and pressure regulators on the house side of the meter are what we handle.
