Plumbing service in Perris
Perris has been around since the railroad arrived in 1886 and incorporated in 1911. Today it's a mix of an older downtown and newer neighborhoods like Green Valley. Rooter Warrior Plumbing & Drain Cleaning serves all of it, plus Enchanted Heights and the Lake Perris area, in ZIP codes 92570 and 92571. We're veteran- and family-owned, based on Third Street in Riverside, about 16 road miles from Perris City Hall.
Who runs the water and sewer now
On October 15, 2024, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) took over the City of Perris's water and sewer system. That covered about 2,700 customers downtown and about 1,400 more in the northeast part of the city. EMWD now serves all of Perris. EMWD maintains the mains. The water line and sewer line between the street and your house are yours.
EMWD's 2025 water quality report lists hardness by water source rather than by neighborhood. Water from its Perris treatment plant averaged about 7.5 grains per gallon. Its north Perris wells averaged about 9.8, and its Perris Valley wells about 19, which EMWD's own scale rates as very hard. Depending on which water reaches your tap, you may be fighting scale in your water heater and on fixtures. Our water treatment service can help.
Old downtown pipes, new tract homes
About half of Perris's homes were built in 2000 or later, and the median home was built in 2000, according to Census data. Plenty of older homes remain around downtown, though.
- Older homes can have original galvanized water lines and cast-iron or clay drain lines. Look for low pressure, rusty water, slow drains or backups. See repiping and sewer line repair.
- 2000s homes are into water heater replacements and the first round of worn valves and fixtures. See water heater services.
EMWD has been upgrading downtown sewers too. Its G Street project replaces about 3,800 feet of downtown sewer pipe, upsizing it from 12 to 18 inches. In Enchanted Heights, a septic-to-sewer conversion moved homes off septic tanks between 2011 and 2013.
The City of Perris lists water heaters among the alterations that need a building permit.
