Water and watering in Parlier
Parlier’s water utility is run by the City’s Public Works Department, which bills for water usage about two months behind.
Parlier’s municipal code (Chapter 13.20) prohibits water waste: runoff onto a street, gutter, ditch or drain, and leaks or breaks left unrepaired. It presumes 48 hours after discovery is a reasonable time to fix a leak. We did not find assigned watering days in the code, so call City Hall at (559) 646-3545 for the current rules.

What backflow preventer repair means in Parlier
Anti-siphon and backflow valves wear out in predictable ways: worn seals and diaphragms, a leaking bonnet or cap, a cracked body after a freeze. When the body is in good shape, a rebuild with new internals is often enough. When it is not, the valve gets replaced.
If one low head keeps dribbling after the zone stops, the cause is usually water draining down the pipe, not a failed valve. A check valve installed at the lowest point holds that water in the line. We install them on request.
A leaking backflow device in Parlier wastes water at the supply line, before it ever reaches a head. It is worth fixing early.
