Water leak in a Sunnyvale yard?
Close your house shutoff. If water is surfacing near the street or meter, call Sunnyvale Public Works at 972-251-0567 after hours or Town Hall at 972-226-7177 during the day. For the Sunnyvale private line, call us at (682) 284-0966.
Sunnyvale describes itself as a lower-density town with a strong rural element. Larger lots can mean longer yard lines between the meter and the house, and more places for a leak to hide.
