Announcements

Who is Responsible for Controlling High Water Pressure?

At the May 2025 YSPUC Board of Director’s meeting General Manager Stiglich presented a revised document for approval, “New Construction Application” for a water meter.

In this application the customer can find salient information on how to contact the water utility and the requirements to obtain a new water meter.  If a new home were recently built the customer would be given a packet of information that explains this process in detail.  Additionally, in this document the new customer will find the utility’s high water pressure policy on page 2, under the subheading,  Connection Fee Data Form which states as follows “ Pressure regulators are installed by YSPUC when the line pressure is 125 psi or above at the meter location. During the lot inspection it will be determined whether or not your property will receive a pressure regulator from YSPUC.  Should your property not receive a pressure regulator by YSPUC, and your pressure is above 60 psi at your house location, you should consider installing a regulator of your own. You should discuss this with your contractor.” Property owners of existing homes may not know about this policy or may have forgotten about this rule. In such cases we recommend that you call our office for clarification.

When the YSPUC installs a pressure regulator on the utility’s side of the water meter we will maintain this device and replace it when needed.  When YSPUC installs a pressure regulator we will adjust the pressure coming into the home between 60 – 70 psi. If you deem that your water pressure is out of these specifications, please call our office at

(559) 517-3799 and we will check the water company’s pressure regulator and make any necessary adjustments.  However, once the high-water pressure is managed with a utility owned pressure regulator, we highly recommend that the homeowner install and maintain their own pressure regulator as an added safety precaution.  Water customers often ask, what if my water pressure in the home is over 80 psi and there is no YSPUC pressure regulator installed at the meter?  Again, the policy recommends that the homeowner installs and adjusts the pressure regulator to 60 psi.  In closing, please consider this, all mechanical devices break down over time and use, therefore it is the homeowner’s responsibility to maintain their own pressure regulator.

What you should know

We have several main wells that provide clean, healthy water for each of the lots and homes. We manage and operate Yosemite Spring Park Utility Company (YSPUC) with a separate board of directors and have employees that work for YSPUC to maintain the system.

HOURS OF OPERATION

Business office hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The business office phone number is (559) 517-3799. The business office is closed on all major holidays.

FLUSHING

When you are notified that it is OK to flush, start by turning on a hose outside of your home closest to the point where water enters your house. Run the water for approximately 15 minutes or until it becomes clear. If the water does not clear up within 15 minutes, STOP running the water and contact us immediately.

It is also very important not to flush UNTIL YSPUC notifies you to start the flushing process.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we will issue you 1 flushing credit that will be applied to your next month’s bill.

EMERGENCY LINE

Should you need emergency assistance after business hours, on weekends, or on a holiday, please contact us by using our emergency line: (559) 760-4349.

Please contact us for any water company-related emergency during the times specified above. We would rather find out about the problem at 2 a.m. when the problem is small rather than at 7 a.m. when the problem has become very large.

DISCOLORED WATER

Your water is being supplied to you from deep rock wells, and so occasional discolored water can occur. Slight discolor that quickly comes and goes is not a concern.

However, if your water becomes dark and stays that way, then IMMEDIATELY take the following steps:

1. Contact the office at (559) 517-3799 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

2. After hours, call 760-4349

3. DO NOT turn on any water in or around your home, unless instructed by YSPUC.

Never run your hot water while it is discolored. However, if you were running the hot water when your water became discolored, you may need to drain your hot water heater as well.

WATER BILLING

Meters are read monthly and billing statements are sent out by the 5th of each month. Please call us if you do not receive your statement by the 15th of each month.

RTS CHARGES

Water utilities, like any other business, must be able to cover their daily operational costs, as well as provide some profit to fund additional growth, replace and repair aged or damaged equipment, and meet financial requirements.

The California Public Utilities Commission determined that, based on its number of customers, the YSPUC can recover 65 percent of its fixed costs through a Readiness to Serve charge.

Without this charge, the rates that YSPUC would have to charge for water would be much higher, as sales of water alone would not cover the costs of operations, at a rate that would appear to be reasonable to the consumer.
