Residential Water Diagram
For Residential water services, WCID110 is responsible for the water mains and public water service lines that go to the water meter. The resident is responsible for all water lines from the water meter to and in the house.
If there is an issue with a water main, the main will be shut off by the District and that will impact all properties connected to the main. If there is an issue on the residential property, that is the responsibility of the resident and all expenses are the responsibility of the resident.
The water meter box and electronic water meter components are WCID110 District property and only District employees or representatives are allowed to access the water meter or perform any work on the meters. For inquiries related to water meters, please contact MOC, the District Operator.
Locating Your Home Shut-Off Valve
Almost every home has a main cut off valve to turn water off to your home. Your main cut off valve should be on the same side of the home as your water meter. In some cases, it is located within the home behind a covered panel opening. In an emergency, such as a broken line, use this valve to shut off the water to the home. If there is an emergency, you will need to act fast. It is a very good idea to locate your valve now so you can find it quickly in the event of an emergency. Be sure you have found the correct valve. Try turning it off briefly and see if all the water is off. If the valve is not working, contact a plumber to repair or replace it. Maintenance of the main cut off valve is the owner’s responsibility. Do not depend on the water meter valve to shut off your water. It can be easily broken, or seized. In most cases it requires a special wrench to turn. The meter is for District use ONLY. You could be charged a tamper fine for turning on or off the meter valve.
