We start with honest communication: what's wrong, what your options are, and what each one costs.
Moreno Valley's water
Most of Moreno Valley gets its water from Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), which lists the city in its Mills service area. EMWD's 2025 water quality report shows water from the Mills treatment plant averaging about 5 grains per gallon. That's moderately hard on EMWD's own scale. Most of its other sources run from about 6 to 10 grains per gallon.
A pocket of western Moreno Valley around Edgemont gets its water from Box Springs Mutual Water Company instead. Box Springs blends water from a local well with imported water.
Even moderately hard water builds up scale over the years, mostly inside tankless water heaters and on faucets and showerheads. Regular tankless descaling and a water treatment system keep it in check.
Homes from the 1980s boom
The city's own history describes the 1980s as a decade of "explosive growth." Census data agrees: about 40% of Moreno Valley's homes were built in the 1980s, and the median home was built in 1988. Homes that age are around 40 years old now, when original supply lines, shutoff valves and drain lines start to give out. Common calls:
- Water heater replacement, tank or tankless. See water heater services.
- Hidden leaks under slabs and in walls. See leak detection.
- Slow or backed-up drains and main lines. See drain cleaning and hydro jetting.
In the city's Village area, between Sunnymead Boulevard and Dracaea Avenue, the Village Specific Plan notes that some older homes may still rely on septic tanks.
Thinking about a tankless water heater?
Moreno Valley lists residential tank water heater changeouts as an online permit. Its guide for tankless water heaters sets extra requirements. Among them: a gas supply sized for at least 200,000 BTU per hour, a relief-valve discharge 6 to 24 inches above grade, and garage units raised 18 inches. A tankless upgrade often means a bigger gas line, so we'll go over the whole job with you before any work starts. See gas line installation.
