Patricia Davis, SSWD customer, recently completed a Water-Wise House Call and wrote the following regarding her experience:

"My call of inquiry to Sacramento Suburban Water was quickly returned and an appointment was set to have my home and yard examined. She continued with stating that the representative arrived on time, checked every faucet, shower and toilet as well as all yard water use. I would encourage all homeowners to take this opportunity to get a cost free water tune up!"
