Why Us
Highland is an old citrus town wearing a newer suburb on one side of it, and the plumbing calls we get reflect that split. We ask which part of Highland a job is in before we quote it, because the answer changes what we expect to find.
The original Highland townsite goes back to 1891, built on an economy of orange orchards irrigated by a ditch two Inland Empire pioneers dug in 1858. This older housing stock sits on a citrus-era street grid, closer to the Santa Ana River and the historic Rock House grounds.
Common calls: repiping, original supply lines, scoped drain diagnosticsA master-planned community built separately with its own private recreation facilities, mostly homes from 2000 or later. The pipe underneath a Ranch call is not the same age as a pipe underneath an East Highland call a mile away.
Common calls: fixtures, water heaters, newer-construction issuesServices
We bring the full Sunrise Plumbing Riverside lineup to Highland, residential and commercial.

Call (858) 599-0256 NowCoverage
A master-planned community with its own private recreation facilities, mostly built from 2000 onward. Calls here tend to run toward fixtures and newer-construction issues rather than old pipe.
Part of the original citrus-era townsite area, home to the historic Rock House on the former East Highlands Orange Company grounds. Older supply lines and drain runs show up here more than anywhere else in the city.
The western side of Highland's older residential core, a mix of home ages we check property by property before quoting.
Reference points we use: the Santa Ana River along the northern edge, where the 1858 Cram-Van Leuven irrigation ditch once drew water for the orchards, the historic Rock House, and SR-210, which runs the length of Highland and connects to the 215 for our Riverside dispatch.
Water Quality
Highland's water comes from East Valley Water District, and EVWD's own published guidance states that hard water is common for providers like theirs that rely mainly on groundwater wells. That much is confirmed directly from EVWD's own site.
What we could not confirm is a specific number. EVWD does not publish a grains-per-gallon or mg/L hardness figure on its public water quality pages, so we are not going to invent one here the way some sites do. If you want the exact reading for your address, EVWD's Consumer Confidence Report is the source to check, or call them directly.
Practically, groundwater-sourced hard water still means mineral buildup in tanks and fixtures over time, regardless of the exact number. See our water filtration page for how a whole house softener addresses that →
Permits & Paperwork
Plumbing work in Highland runs through the city's Building & Safety Division, and submittals are made in person at the City Hall building counter, not through an online-only portal.

For most system work, yes. Plan sets are submitted in person at the City Hall building counter through Highland's Building & Safety Division, and field inspections check the plumbing along with other trades before a permit is finaled. We handle the submission and coordinate inspection scheduling.
East Valley Water District, which serves Highland, states on its own site that hard water is common for groundwater-reliant providers like them. We could not find a published specific hardness number for Highland, so we are not going to guess one. If mineral buildup is an issue in your home, a whole house softener addresses it regardless of the exact reading.
Often, yes. East Highlands Ranch is a master-planned community built mostly from 2000 onward, while East Highland and West Highland sit on the city's older, citrus-era townsite dating back to 1891. Older supply lines and drain issues show up more in the historic core than in the newer Ranch construction.
Yes. We cover San Bernardino and Redlands in addition to Highland itself, both from the same Riverside base. If your address sits near a city line, call (858) 599-0256 and we will confirm coverage either way.
It can. Homes in East Highland and West Highland were often built on the city's original citrus-era street grid, and some still run original supply lines decades old. We check the age and material of your existing pipe before quoting a repipe, rather than pricing it like a newer Ranch home.
