A sewer district older than the city
Sewer service in Westminster comes from the Midway City Sanitary District, which formed in 1939, years before the city incorporated in 1957. The district opened bids for its first sewer mains in 1953 and now maintains more than 170 miles of sewer pipe for Westminster and Midway City. It is also one of the few agencies in Orange County that still collects trash with its own crews.
The practical point: if sewage is spilling from a manhole or the street main, that is the district's to handle, and its office line is (714) 893-3553. If the backup is only in your home, the blockage is almost always in your own lateral, and that is our job.
Many Westminster laterals were connected to mains laid in the 1950s. Pipe of that age is a common place for roots and offset joints.
Homes and businesses: what to expect
| Property | Frequent problem | Usual fix |
|---|---|---|
| Postwar single-family home | Galvanized supply lines and low pressure. | Repipe or partial replacement. |
| Postwar single-family home | Roots in an older sewer lateral. | Clearing, camera, then repair. |
| Restaurant or food shop | Grease buildup in kitchen lines. | Hydro jetting on a schedule. |
| Strip-center retail suite | Restroom and water heater failures. | Repair or replacement after hours. |
Food businesses can set up regular line cleaning through our commercial plumbing service.
Active Leak or Burst Pipe in Westminster: Before We Arrive
Close the house valve.
Postwar Westminster homes usually have the main shutoff on the front or side wall near the hose bib. Old gate valves can be stiff, so turn slowly and never force a stuck handle.
Switch off power to wet rooms.
If water reaches outlets, appliances or a garage water heater, switch those breakers off from a dry panel.
Protect the kitchen and stock.
For shops and restaurants, lift food, stock and paperwork off the floor and stop running dish machines until the leak is found.
Call the 24/7 line.
Call (714) 750-8637. If sewage is spilling from a street manhole instead, the Midway City Sanitary District handles the main.
Water pressure in older Westminster homes
Low pressure throughout the house is one of the most common Westminster complaints. In homes of this age, galvanized steel supply pipe narrows from the inside as rust builds up, and the effect is gradual, so owners often notice it only when a shower and a washing machine run at the same time.
The other cause is a failing pressure reducing valve at the main line. We test with a gauge at a hose bib before recommending anything. A valve is a one-visit fix. Galvanized pipe means a partial or full repipe, and we price both so you can choose. The California Plumbing Code, based on the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), calls for a reducing valve when street pressure is above 80 psi.
