| Water leaks are serious and will be repaired as quickly as possible.
Please remember the severity of the leak will determine the repair priority. Emergency and
larger leaks must be given a high priority while smaller leaks will still be repaired as
quickly as possible. Sometimes it seems as if it takes a very long time for the City to
repair a leak in your neighborhood. Please keep in mind, it will be repaired as quickly as
possible depending on other leaks and emergencies within our City.
Caring and
maintaining this complex system requires constant effort from a number of skilled persons.
Repair and maintenance is difficult and dangerous since nearly all piping is under our
streets. The thousands of valves must be easily found for emergency repairs regardless of
the weather conditions, time of day, or day of the year. Valves must be exercised so they
will be operational when needed. Fire hydrants are checked and maintained to ensure when
an emergency does occur they are ready.
The City of Peoria has elected to begin replacing leak prone polybutyl piping, which
was once a standard type of pipe between the water main and your meter. Please use caution
in construction areas if the replacement efforts are in your neighborhood. We are making
every effort to ensure a smooth operation with the contractor performing the replacements.
