Modesto at a glance
The Modesto Irrigation District is a public utility that provides electricity, irrigation water and treated drinking water. The Modesto Regional Water Treatment Plant treats water from the Tuolumne River. Part of MID's power comes from hydroelectric generation at Don Pedro Reservoir.
The Modesto Arch, dedicated in 1912, reads Water, Wealth, Contentment, Health. Summers in the Central Valley are hot and dry, with many days over 100 degrees. Winter tule fog can linger over the valley for days.
Hard water is common and builds scale in water heaters. The city's Jennings Road plant treats nearly 15 million gallons of wastewater a day to recycled water standards.

Building permits are handled by the Modesto Building Safety Division.
Questions about Modesto
Who supplies water in Modesto?
Modesto blends treated Tuolumne River water from the Modesto Irrigation District with groundwater pumped from city wells. 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 the Modesto Irrigation District and natural gas from PG&E. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Modesto need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Modesto Building Safety 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.
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 you rent, a short written note to your landlord now can save a lot of back and forth later.
