Santa Fe Springs is a different kind of city from its neighbors. It grew around oil and industry, and most of its calls come from businesses, with a smaller number from homes. The sections below explain what that means.
Business-heavy city, around-the-clock response
Dispatch around the clock
Santa Fe Springs businesses and homes get emergency dispatch around the clock, including a line cleared before the next shift. Call and give us the address.
More businesses than a typical suburb
City officials describe about 3,100 businesses in a city of roughly 18,300 residents. That means more floor drains, grease lines, and large water heaters per block.
Water routed through Whittier
The city's water utility buys treated groundwater through the City of Whittier and also receives imported water. Supply and pressure notices come from the Santa Fe Springs utility.
Oil, work, and where the pipes are
The Union-Bell well came in as a 2,500-barrel gusher in 1921 and set off an oil rush, according to published city history. The city incorporated on May 15, 1957, and city officials have described it as home to about 3,100 businesses alongside roughly 18,300 residents.
That ratio is the practical point. A city with far more businesses than a typical suburb has more restaurants, shops, warehouses, and light industrial buildings, and those buildings have bigger water heaters, floor drains, and grease lines than a house does. Our business plumbing page covers what we take.
| Type of site | Common calls | Where we start |

| Home | Water heater, drains, and fixtures | Diagnose, then repair |

How Santa Fe Springs gets its supply
The Santa Fe Springs Water Utility Authority's 2024 report says it obtains treated groundwater through the City of Whittier from deep wells in the Whittier Narrows area. It also receives treated groundwater from the Central Basin Water Quality Protection Program facility, again through Whittier, and filtered surface water from the Metropolitan Water District.
For a building owner, the useful point is that supply and pressure notices come from the Santa Fe Springs utility, even though some of the water travels through Whittier's system. The 2024 report does not publish a hardness figure, so we do not quote one. If scale is a problem at your site, a test strip at the tap tells you what you are dealing with, and our salt-based softener page explains sizing.
Why a Santa Fe Springs address can be tricky
ZIP code 90670 covers parts of Santa Fe Springs, Downey, Norwalk, and Whittier, according to ZIP-level data. A mailing address that says Santa Fe Springs does not always sit inside the city limits, and the city line decides which water utility serves you and which sewer rules apply.
Your water bill names your utility, and that is the quickest way to settle it. If you manage a property and want a second set of eyes, we can read the bill with you.
What to do when a drain backs up at a business
- 1Stop using the affected sinks, toilets, and floor drains.
- 2Keep staff and customers away from standing water.
- 3Photograph the area and note when it started.
- 4Tell the landlord or property manager if you lease.
- 5Call us with the address and which fixtures are affected.
ZIP code 90670 and the cities next door
We cover all of Santa Fe Springs, from the Telegraph Road corridor, where City Hall sits at 11710 East Telegraph Road, to the Heritage Park area. Heritage Park is a six-acre reconstructed ranch estate that sits where the original Fulton Wells spa once stood, according to the city. Our dispatch also covers Downey and Norwalk next door. Read about our work in the Norwalk area.
For a slow drain at a food business, see high-pressure jetting. Many businesses also need annual testing on a backflow device, which our backflow prevention page explains.
If you have a burst pipe or active leak
A burst pipe or active leak at a Santa Fe Springs business costs money every hour. These four steps help you contain it, whether you run a shop, a kitchen, or a warehouse.
Shut off the main valve
Know the building's main shutoff and any separate valve for the restroom block or kitchen. A tenant should ask the property manager where each one is before there is an emergency.
Kill power to wet areas
If water reaches equipment, a panel, or a lighting circuit, switch off that circuit only if you can do so from dry ground. Never stand in water to reach a panel.
Clear the area
Keep staff and customers away from standing water and move stock off wet floors. Photograph the damage and tell the landlord and your insurer.
Call our 24/7 line
Call (562) 488-9614 with the address and which fixtures are affected. A backed-up floor drain in a kitchen is handled differently from a split supply line in a warehouse.
