Plumbing in Pomona
Pomona's Water Resources Department completed its first lead service line inventory and reports zero lead lines on its water quality page. The utility leans heavily on two groundwater aquifers, pumped from 38 wells across Pomona and Claremont. Water from those wells is treated for volatile organic compounds, nitrate and perchlorate. The system has 22 reservoirs. It also has more than 30,000 service connections. EPA's file names the system Pomona - City, Water Dept. (CA1910126), records surface water as its source type and counts 151,713 people across the system.
Planning a tankless heater? The Building and Safety Division posts a tankless water heater handout on its forms page, alongside the plumbing, mechanical and electrical permit applications.

Once a permit is open, the city's Inspection Requests page is where you book a visit, and the Daily Inspections search shows what's on the schedule.
