Can TRCA take payment over the phone?

Can you tell me what color my house was painted in?

Yes, homeowners submit a paint application when they paint their home. This allows us to keep the record for the homeowner should they lose track of the colors used. If you would like to find out what colors your house is painted, please contact the office.

Why can’t I park on the street overnight?

Overnight parking is not permitted in Tatum Ranch, due to congestion on the streets. Emergency vehicles and garbage trucks must be able to get through our streets at any given time. Guests may park in the street for limited time periods, but may not park overnight.

How can we drain our pool, and how do we find the sewer line connection for pool backwashing or draining?

The sanitary sewer cleanout is usually located next to the house at the point closest to the city sewer line and can usually be found outside a bathroom or kitchen. On some older homes, the cleanout is located in the wall; on other homes it is at ground level but may be hidden or covered. A threaded black cap, 3 to 4 inches in diameter, covers the opening. If you cannot locate the cleanout, call the City of Phoenix Storm Water Management at 602-256-3190.
