Plumbing in Corona
Fridays, the Building Division in Corona is closed. Its counter at City Hall, 400 S. Vicentia Ave., is open Monday to Thursday from 7 AM to 6 PM, and the phone is 951-736-2250. Permits are issued through eTRAKiT, and the division posts separate fee tables for plumbing, electrical, mechanical and miscellaneous work. For a storage-tank water heater of 100 gallons or less, the Table C Plumbing Fees PDF dated 10.4.26 prints $63.00, $46.00 and $109.00 across its three fee columns.
A tank over 100 gallons reads $125.00, $74.00 and $199.00. Ask the division which of those amounts lands on your permit. The city-run Department of Water & Power blends water from local wells with water imported from the Metropolitan Water District. In 2025 about 55% came from MWD by way of Western Municipal Water District, and about 45% was local groundwater. In EPA's inventory that's system CA3310037, Corona, City Of, recorded as purchased surface water and serving 169,380 people across all of it.
Corona housing units have a 1991 median build year in Census estimates spanning 2020 to 2024. That midpoint is for the city, not your lot.
