Lakeridge is planned together with Stonewood in the City of Orem's Stonewood and Lakeridge plan. The plan counts about 59 percent of homes in the two neighborhoods as renter-occupied, which makes Lakeridge unusual among the pages on this site.
A neighborhood with many renters has a different plumbing problem: the person who calls is often not the person who owns the pipes. This page says what the plan documents and what it does not, and keeps the advice General where there is no source.

When the caller is not the owner.
If you rent in Lakeridge, a plumbing problem usually starts with your landlord. Tell them in writing and keep a copy. This is General advice and rules vary by lease. If you own a unit, a condo or a townhome, the question is where your responsibility ends and the building's begins, which a homeowners association document can answer.
Common repairs in multi-unit and mixed housing are small and repeated: a drain that slows in a shared stack, a toilet that will not stop running, a faucet that drips. See drain cleaning, toilet repair and faucet and fixture repair for how each is usually handled.
Water heaters are another frequent topic. In a building with several units, a heater may serve one unit or many, so check before assuming a repair is yours to order. If it is yours, water heater repair explains the typical failures.
Description matters on the phone as well. Say which unit and floor the problem is on, whether neighbors are affected, and whether the water is still running. A backup that hits several units at once is a building matter and usually needs the manager involved, while a leak under one sink is usually contained to that unit. Neither case is something this page can judge from outside, which is why a short call comes first.
Describe the problem and your street when you call.
Call (385) 488-1892Before you call from a rental or shared building.
This list is General advice.
- Confirm in writing who is responsible for the problem fixture.
- Find out whether the water heater serves your unit alone.
- Learn where the unit's shutoff valve is, and the building's if it is shared.
- Photograph the damage and any water on the floor.
- Call (385) 488-1892 if you are authorized to request the work.
