Anaheim at a glance
In fiscal year 2025, local groundwater made up about 82 percent of Anaheim's water supply. Anaheim was founded in 1857 by German families who formed a grape-growing colony. The city's name joins Ana, from the Santa Ana River, with heim, the German word for home.
After disease wiped out the vineyards in the 1880s, growers turned to citrus and other crops. Disneyland opened in Anaheim in July 1955, and the city grew fast in the decades that followed. The Anaheim Colony Historic District, designated in 1997, covers the original 1857 settlement.
The Kroeger-Melrose district holds Craftsman and California bungalows built mostly between 1900 and 1915. Purified recycled water from the Groundwater Replenishment System soaks into the ground at percolation basins in Anaheim.
Local utilities and rules
Anaheim Public Utilities draws most of the city's water from local groundwater wells and buys the rest from the Metropolitan Water District. Wastewater goes to the city, with treatment by the Orange County Sanitation District. Anaheim Public Utilities supplies electricity, and natural gas comes from SoCalGas. Building permits are handled by the Anaheim Building Division.
Questions about Anaheim
Who supplies water in Anaheim?
Anaheim Public Utilities draws most of the city's water from local groundwater wells and buys the rest from the Metropolitan Water District. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Do repairs in Anaheim need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Anaheim Building Division, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check. Electrical contractors in California are licensed by the Contractors State License Board, and electricians working for them need state certification. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Does VendorReach do the work?
No. We are a referral service. We connect you with an independent local company, and they quote, schedule and complete the job.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
Neighbors with the same issue? In buildings close together, that is worth mentioning when you call.

VendorReach is a referral service, not the company that does the work. Your request goes to an independent service company, and that company decides its own prices and is responsible for its work. It is fine to ask for a written estimate first.
