Chino
From dairy country to suburb
Chino incorporated on February 28, 1910, and spent decades as an agricultural center known for sugar beets, corn and fruit. From the 1950s through the 1980s it was dairy country, at one point the largest milk-producing community in California. It grew into a suburban city starting in the 1970s.
The city sits on a flat alluvial plain at about 728 feet, in the Santa Ana River watershed. Flat ground makes trenching simpler than in the surrounding hills, but older ranch and farm properties can have long, sometimes undersized lines that were never meant for a modern household. Chino Airport, home to the Planes of Fame and Yanks Air Museums, is one of the city's best-known landmarks.

Local problems
What we see in Chino
Long lines on former ranch lots
Properties that were once farms can have a long distance between the meter and the house.
Undersized older pipe
Lines installed for rural use can be too small for today's demand.
Simple trenching, long distances
Flat ground helps, but long runs still take planning to keep disruption down.
Planning the job
What a Chino job looks like
Flat ground is Chino's advantage. Trenching across a level lot is faster and more predictable than on a hillside, which can make a full replacement a reasonable choice even on a longer run. The main planning question is usually length, not grade.
On former farm and ranch properties, we also check the pipe size. A line sized for an older, simpler household may struggle once a home has several bathrooms and irrigation, and a replacement is the right time to fix that. Permits go through the City of Chino.
Newer tracts built during the city's suburban growth tend to have copper lines, so a leak there is often a repair rather than a replacement.

Chino water line questions
Who should I call about my water meter in Chino?
The City of Chino's Utilities Division handles the meter and the city side. The line from the meter to your house is the homeowner's.
Can you replace a line on a large former ranch property?
Yes. Long runs on large lots are common in Chino, and flat ground usually makes the trench straightforward.
Can you upsize my line during replacement?
Yes. If the existing line is too small for how the house uses water, we can install a larger one while the trench is open.
