Plumbing service for Eagle Lake homeowners in central Roy
The Roy City 2023 General Plan places Eagle Lake at the geographic center of Roy, bounded by 4800 South, 5600 South, 3500 West and the Union Pacific tracks. It says the area has largely been built out as single-family homes from the 1980s and 1990s.
The plan lists Eagle Lake Golf Course, the Roy Aquatic Center, Frank Tremea Park, McCall Park and Roy Park here, and Roy Elementary. It also notes that this neighborhood has the most remaining open space in the city.
Yards, hose bibs and irrigation: sorting out a wet spot
With parks, a golf course and open land nearby, many Eagle Lake homes have large yards. A wet spot does not always mean a plumbing leak, because irrigation in Roy is a separate system run by the Roy Water Conservancy District.
To tell them apart, close every tap and check the water meter. If the dial still moves, water is escaping somewhere on the house side. A plumber can show you how, or you can ask when you call. If it is still, the wet area may be irrigation.
Verified details, general tips and unknowns

Outdoor faucets and winter in a northern Utah yard
Disconnect hoses before the first hard freeze and shut off any interior valve that feeds an outdoor faucet. A hose bib that drips after winter may have a damaged valve, and our faucet repair page covers the repair.
If a basement or crawl space takes on water, the sump pump page explains the equipment. If the house has hard water scale, softener and filtration may be worth a look.
Quick prep for a call from central Roy
- The cross street, or a landmark such as the golf course or Roy Aquatic Center.
- Whether the water meter dial moves with every tap closed.
- Where the wet spot is and whether it is near the house or the sprinkler lines.
- Whether outdoor hoses were left connected in cold weather.
- A photo of the wet area.
First steps if you find a leak
If you find a leak, close the nearest shutoff, such as the valve under a sink or toilet. If you cannot find one, close the main valve near the water heater or where the line enters the house.
Move belongings off the floor and photograph the damage before cleanup, since an insurance company may ask for it.
