Know your Stockton house
The city's river diversions are tied to how much treated wastewater it returns to the river. Stockton's Delta Water Supply Project takes water from the San Joaquin River and treats it at a plant in north Stockton.
Stockton sits on the eastern edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, with sloughs and levees nearby. Switching from a tank to tankless can free up space but may require a larger gas line or new venting.
Hard water leaves scale in tanks and tankless units alike, and annual descaling keeps tankless models efficient. The water treatment plant can treat 30 million gallons a day.
Who handles what in Stockton
Electric heaters draw power from PG&E, and gas models rely on PG&E. Either way, a replacement in Stockton typically needs a permit through the Stockton Building and Life Safety Division. Water heater replacement in California is plumbing work licensed by the Contractors State License Board, and state code requires seismic strapping.

What people ask us
Why is my hot water rusty?
It can be a corroding tank or anode rod. If cold water is clear and only hot is rusty, the heater is the likely source.
What should I do if my tank is leaking?
Turn off the cold water supply to the tank and shut off the gas or the breaker. Then call for help, since a leaking tank usually needs to be replaced.
