The information below may assist you in determining if you should call Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) or a plumber.

  • SSWD’s responsibility for repairs is up to the point where the customer’s piping connects to the District’s Meter, Meter Setter, and/or Curb Stop (shut-off valve). 
  • The customer is responsible for all repairs from the point of the piping connection.  The District’s responsibility ends where the customer’s responsibility begins.
