Irvine at a glance
Irvine was planned on the old Irvine Ranch and incorporated as a city in December 1971. The University of California, Irvine opened in 1965, before the city existed. Recycled water irrigates parks, medians, greenbelts and community landscaping across the city.
The city is organized into planned villages. Building permits and inspections run through the city's online permit system. Homeowners associations in many villages have rules about exterior work, so check before replacing a roof or garage door.
Irvine's dual pipe system was developed with the Irvine Company as the planned villages were built. Summers are warm and dry, and Santa Ana winds raise fire risk in the fall.
Local utilities and rules
The Irvine Ranch Water District runs two separate pipe systems, one for drinking water and one for recycled water used on landscaping. Wastewater goes to the Irvine Ranch Water District. Southern California Edison supplies electricity, and natural gas comes from SoCalGas. Building permits are handled by the Irvine Community Development Department.
Questions about Irvine
Who supplies water in Irvine?
The Irvine Ranch Water District runs two separate pipe systems, one for drinking water and one for recycled water used on landscaping. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Southern California Edison and natural gas from SoCalGas. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Irvine need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Irvine Community Development Department, 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.
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.
If things get worse while you wait, call back and tell us. Safety comes before scheduling.

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.
