1. How do I get a new water / sewer service?

Contact our Engineering Department to determine if the property is within the water or sewer district boundaries of Padre Dam Municipal Water Distrcit (PDMWD) or if an Annexation Procedure is required. Complete a Water/Sewer Service Application and submit it to Padre Dam with a site map showing lot area, buildings, irrigated area, designated open space, dedicated roadway easements and proposed location of water and/or sewer service. Also provide fire flow and building sprinkler requirements from the local fire department. The District will prepare a quote for the water and/or sewer service including installation fees, District capacity fees, and County Water Authority fees. All fees must be paid prior to scheduling the installation of the water or sewer lateral.

2. How do I obtain a construction meter?

Submit a Construction Meter Application along with a deposit as indicated in our Rules and Regulations. Provide a site map showing the location of the fire hydrant where the proposed construction meter is to be located.

3. What is the static pressure at my property?

The water pressure is calculated by taking the reservoir elevation minus the elevation of the water main in the street then multiplying by 0.433 to determine the pounds per square inch (PSI). 

To get a rough estimate of your static water pressure, contact our Engineering Department (619-258-4635) to determine which pressure zone feeds the property. Please provide the street address, APN, or account number. Please note that we will only be able to provide the calculated static pressure to the meter.

4. How do I re-activate an existing water or sewer service?

Contact the Customer Service Department. Provide them with the property address and/or meter number along with the new billing information (name, address, etc.)
