Resurfacing in Paradise Valley
In Paradise Valley your water could come from any of four providers, and many homes have no sewer at all. Answer those two questions first and the rest of the resurface plan falls into place.
- Tap water
- Depends on your address. Four providers serve the town: Berneil Water, Phoenix, Scottsdale and EPCOR. EPCOR's 2025 report lists about 12 grains per gallon for its Paradise Valley area.
- Draining your pool
- Into the sewer cleanout, an on-site retention basin, or plants that tolerate salt and chlorine. Never to the street, a storm drain, a wash or a neighbor's lot.
- Septic homes
- Many homes in town are on septic. A septic home can't drain its pool into the cleanout.

Where these facts come from: Town of Paradise Valley, pool draining and sewer pages; EPCOR 2025 Paradise Valley Water Quality Report. Rules change, so check with your city or water provider before you drain.

What to know in Paradise Valley
Septic or sewer?
If your home is on septic, the pool can't go into the cleanout. The water has to stay on your property, in a retention basin or on salt-tolerant plants, so tell your contractor up front.
Which water provider?
Berneil, Phoenix, Scottsdale or EPCOR may serve your address. Your bill tells you which report covers your water and how hard it is.
Washes are off limits
Drained water can't reach a wash, a storm drain, the street or a neighbor's lot. On a sloped lot, that means a slow drain or the cleanout.

Paradise Valley questions
Can I drain my pool into the sewer in Paradise Valley?
Yes, through the sewer cleanout if your home is on sewer. Septic homes can't, so the water goes to a retention basin or plants on the property. The street, storm drains and washes are off limits.
