Tempe renter and water questions
Questions Tempe homeowners ask before they get matched.
I rent in Tempe. Who should call the plumber, me or my landlord?
Tell your landlord first, since many leases say who arranges and pays for repairs. If water is spreading, shut it off at the main valve, then call them. If they ask you to find a plumber, get matched.
What is the City of Tempe's customer service number?
The city's water utilities page lists 480-350-2837 for outages, main breaks and sewer problems. For non-emergencies, call Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
My tap water tastes off. Is it the city or my pipes?
The city samples from the outside tap nearest the meter. Fill a clean glass from an inside tap and compare. If only the inside water is off, it points to your own plumbing.
