Resurfacing in Gilbert
Gilbert is one of the few Valley towns that allows draining to the curb and gutter, but only as a last resort and with conditions, so your HOA and whether you live in a lake community both matter here.
- Tap water
- From SRP canals (Salt and Verde rivers), the Colorado River and 17 town wells. The town's 2019 report averaged about 10 grains per gallon, ranging from 6 to 13.5.
- Draining your pool
- No permit needed. The town prefers your yard, then the sewer cleanout, with the curb and gutter as a last resort. Filter rinse water can't go into the gutter or road.
- Curb and gutter limits
- Only if your HOA allows it, your home isn't in a lake community, and the pool isn't saltwater or green.

What to know in Gilbert
Check your HOA first
The town tells residents to check their HOA's drain policy, and the curb and gutter option depends on your CC&Rs allowing it. Some HOAs also set crew hours.
Lake communities
Homes in a lake community can't drain to the curb and gutter. The yard or the sewer cleanout are the options.
Saltwater pools
Saltwater pools, and pools that have gone green, can't use the street route either. Plan on the yard or the cleanout.
Gentler water than most
Gilbert's last published average of about 10 grains per gallon is on the softer end for the Valley, though scale still builds. Ask your contractor what they see in your area.
