Emergency Response Checklist
Municipal, EPCOR, or Private Well — It Changes the Diagnosis
Town of Florence Utilities serves much of the town; some subdivisions and unincorporated Pinal County pockets are served by EPCOR or rely on private wells instead. For a “no water” emergency, whether the property is on a municipal connection or a well with its own pump and pressure tank changes where the problem is likely to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Active water damage, sewage exposure, or a total loss of water or hot water — burst pipes, sewer backups, and major water heater leaks all qualify.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to my house?
Depends on call volume, the emergency’s nature, and your location. Call +1 (888) 395-2416 for specifics.
Should I shut off my main water valve before the plumber arrives?
Yes, for any active leak or burst pipe — it’s the fastest way to limit damage before help arrives.
What should I do if sewage backs up?
Stop using all drains and fixtures connected to the affected line, avoid contact with the sewage, and call for emergency service.
Can a leaking water heater be an emergency?
Yes — it can indicate a failing tank or failed pressure valve. Shut off the water supply and call for same-day service.
What if I smell gas during a plumbing emergency?
Leave the home immediately, avoid switches or open flames, and contact your gas utility or 911 before calling a plumber.
