Plumber in French Valley

Unincorporated, fast-growing, and permitted through Riverside County.

French Valley is an unincorporated community north of Temecula, between Murrieta and Winchester. It grew from 23,067 residents in 2010 to 35,280 in 2020, a 52.9% jump that made it the most populous census-designated place in Riverside County.

Two things change for plumbing here. Permits come from the County of Riverside, not the City of Temecula. And many addresses are on Eastern Municipal Water District for water as well as sewer, so the water chemistry and the agency you call are different.

Newer homes, different agency

French Valley had 9,848 housing units in the 2020 Census, most built since 2000 and 86.2% owner-occupied. That means many homes are on their original water heaters, PRVs and fixtures, all reaching their first replacement cycle now.

Water and wastewater for much of French Valley come from EMWD, which serves about 870,000 people across 555 square miles. If your water bill says EMWD, check EMWD's Consumer Confidence Report for your water quality numbers rather than Rancho Water's.

Water heater, repipe and gas permits go through Riverside County Building and Safety. We handle the county process the same way we handle the city's.

Check your water bill: if it says EMWD, your water source, rates and leak programs are EMWD's, not Rancho Water's.
