Plumbing in Cupertino
Two utilities in one city
Most of Cupertino is served by San Jose Water, but parts of the city are on California Water Service instead. That is worth knowing if you are comparing notes with a neighbor about water quality or bills, because you may not be on the same supply.
Cupertino also sees a lot of remodeling. Kitchen and bathroom remodels, ADUs and tankless conversions come up often, and they all go more smoothly when the plumbing is planned before the walls open.
Water and pipes
What the source map says about Cupertino
Most of Cupertino is on San Jose Water, and according to that utility's source map, Cupertino typically receives Valley Water purchased water rather than local wells or mountain water. Parts of the city are served by California Water Service instead, as are parts of Los Altos, Mountain View and Sunnyvale, so two homes in Cupertino can be on different utilities and receive different water.
Houses and pipes
Remodels, upgrades and older ranch homes
Many Cupertino homes are original ranch houses that have been expanded or rebuilt. When an older house is remodeled, the plumbing behind the new walls is often a mix of old and new, and we check the transitions carefully.
Tankless conversions are a popular upgrade here, and they usually need a larger gas line and new venting. We size both before quoting so the unit performs as expected, and we tell you plainly when a high-efficiency tank or heat pump heater would suit the house better.
