San Clemente water bills and trash service split cleanly

San Clemente has a clean split between water billing and trash service. Utility Billing handles water, sewer, and storm drain bills. CR&R is the franchise waste hauler for trash and recycling.

For water service, San Clemente asks customers to contact Utility Billing by phone and give the day service should begin. The city recommends giving at least two business days of notice when possible because staff need access to meters for service changes and readings. Utility Billing also handles account questions, online payments, paperless billing, and closing an account.

For trash and recycling, CR&R is the call for starting or stopping service, missed pickups, and regular waste-hauler questions. In a beach town, cans, pickup timing, parking, and narrow streets can all make the weekly routine feel more visible.

Before you call, sort the chore into one of two piles: water, sewer, storm drain, or utility bill on one side; trash, recycling, organics, carts, or missed pickup on the other. Then have the address and service date ready.
