Technical Questions:

  1. Who maintains my cut-off valve? The District installs the original cut-off valve , usually within 12 inches of the meter box. The maintenance, repair or replacement of this valve is the responsibility of the customer.
  2. Who maintains my Pressure Reducing Valve? This, like the cut-off valve, is the customers responsibility. Basically, anything on the customer's side of the meter is the customers responsibility.
  3. How do I cut off my water supply? The District installs a customer cut-off valve on the customer's side of the water meter usually within 12 inches distance. These often get covered over the years, but a little digging should expose the valve.
  4. How do I adjust my pressure reducing valve? The valve is normally factory preset to 50 psi. The pressure may be adjusted up or down by turning the adjustment bolt - Clockwise to raise pressure or counterclockwise to lower the pressure.
