Who supplies water in Cypress?
Cypress gets its water from Golden State Water Company's West Orange County system, which serves Cypress, Los Alamitos, Stanton and nearby communities, according to the Golden State Water Los Alamitos system. The water provider owns and maintains the meter and the pipes on the street side of it. The service line from the meter to the house, and everything inside, belong to the property owner. So when there's a leak, the first question is which side of the meter it's on. A leak at the meter box or in the street goes to the water provider. A leak in the yard, the slab or the walls is a private plumbing repair.

What kind of homes and plumbing does Cypress have?
Cypress began as Dairy City and became a planned suburb, with most homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. Copper supply lines, slab foundations and aging original water heaters are typical. Age shows up in predictable ways: galvanized or early copper supply lines that corrode or develop pinholes, clay or cast-iron sewer laterals that crack or let roots in, and water heaters that are past their expected service life.
