Layton blends well water with Weber Basin supply
Layton City draws on wells in the Delta Aquifer and blends that with treated water from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District. The mix of sources means that taps in different parts of the city can taste and feel a little different. Weber Basin lists hardness of 10 to 18 grains per gallon for its water, so hard water is a fact of life.
Layton City also runs a leak reporting line for city water problems. If water is bubbling up in the street or from a main outside your property, that is a city matter. Water running inside your house or from your service line is ours. See leak detection for the meter test.
What to do while an emergency plumber heads to Layton
Layton is large, so the clearer your location, the faster a plumber can head your way.
Stop the water at the main.
Close the main shutoff, then run a cold tap to relieve what is left in the pipes.
Check inside versus outside.
Water bubbling in the street or at the meter is usually the city's concern, while water in the house is yours.
Make the area safe.
Keep children and pets out of standing water and away from outlets or the panel.
Give a clear location.
Say which side of Layton you are on, your street and your cross street, so dispatch can plan the drive.
Keep your ZIP code ready, since Layton has many similar looking streets.
