Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- 909-394-2272 is Golden State Water’s local 24-hour San Dimas-area customer-service and emergency number; the toll-free 24/7 number is 1-800-999-4033. The company says representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Customers may also submit a service request through the authorized Golden State Water support portal. Call 911 for an immediate life-safety emergency.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Golden State Water’s public FAQ instructs customers with a high bill to shut off all indoor and outdoor water, observe the meter needle, and investigate toilets, faucets, irrigation, appliances, and other customer-side plumbing. Water that passes through the meter and leaks on the customer’s property is normally billable; leaks in the main, the pre-meter service line, or a fire hydrant do not affect the customer’s metered bill. The company does not publish an automatic customer-side leak-credit formula or repair-receipt cap in the reviewed 2026 materials. Customers should call 1-800-999-4033 for account review, retain repair documentation, and use the bill-review process if the reading or charge appears incorrect. Meter-error adjustments are handled under Rule 18, which is distinct from a private-property leak.
- Utility assistance program
- Golden State Water’s CPUC Schedule LI provides the Customer Assistance Program for qualifying low-income residential single-family customers. The January 1, 2026 tariff lists a $16.00 monthly CAP credit for Region 3, the tariff region covering San Dimas. A June 1, 2026 income update defines eligibility for the period June 1, 2026–May 31, 2027 at gross annual household income no higher than $43,280 for 1–2 persons, $54,640 for 3, $66,000 for 4, $77,360 for 5, $88,720 for 6, $100,080 for 7, $111,440 for 8, plus $11,360 per additional person. Applicants submit the authorized declaration, may qualify through California CARE enrollment or income verification, and generally renew every two years; the credit begins with the next bill after approval. Payment-plan and hardship protections are separate from the CAP credit.
- State and federal aid connection
- Golden State Water publishes the CPUC-regulated CAP application and income-verification process and allows customers to request deferred, reduced, or other payment arrangements for past-due balances. Its CAP form permits proof of California CARE enrollment and states that the company may share eligibility information with other utilities or agents to enroll customers in assistance programs. The reviewed 2026 pages do not identify a separate LIHWAP application URL or a named local charity paying San Dimas water arrears. Customers should call 1-800-999-4033, check current California/Los Angeles County assistance resources, and distinguish direct bill aid from the company’s free conservation-upgrade and rebate programs.
