Pool service in the Yuma Foothills, in Somerton, in San Luis, in Wellton, in Gadsden or in Yuma itself starts with the same free call. None of these places has a page of its own, because few people search for pool help by town name here. This page covers all six instead, with only the facts that could be checked.
The line is a telephone number, not a business with branches. Nobody from Yuma Pool Cleaning Pro works out of any of these communities. A recorded assistant takes the call at any hour, notes the pool problem and your general area, and hands you to a Yuma-area pool business with local owners. That business decides whether your address is within its route, then prices and does the job on its own terms. It may not cover every corner of the county on every day, so mention where you are early in the call.
The six places side by side
| Place | Status | 2020 Census | Water | Electricity | Pool rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuma | City, county seat | 95,548 | City of Yuma (Colorado River) | APS | City of Yuma |
| Fortuna Foothills | Unincorporated | 27,776 | Foothills Utilities | Check your bill | Yuma County |
| Somerton | City | 14,197 | City of Somerton | APS | Ask the city |
| San Luis | City | 35,257 | City of San Luis (wells) | APS | Ask the city |
| Wellton | Town | Not listed here | Town of Wellton | Wellton-Mohawk district | Ask the town |
| Gadsden | Unincorporated | Not listed here | Check your bill | Check your bill | Yuma County |
"APS" is Arizona Public Service. Its service territory map labels Yuma, Somerton, San Luis and Wellton, but the map does not settle the line for any single street. In Wellton, the town says electricity comes from the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, which holds the local power franchise. In any place, the name printed on your electric bill settles it.
Yuma
The city is the county seat, and the 2020 Census counted 95,548 residents. Homes inside city limits are on City of Yuma water: Colorado River water cleaned at the Main Street and Agua Viva treatment plants. The city's water FAQ calls it hard and puts it at 18 to 22 grains per gallon, mostly calcium and magnesium. For pool owners that number explains the chalky ring at the waterline, since every top-off in summer brings more of those minerals in. The tile and calcium page covers what can be done about it.
City rules matter twice. Before draining, phone City of Yuma Utilities at 928-373-4500, because city code needs the utilities director's approval for pool water going into the sewer. The city's stormwater page asks you to hold off on chlorine for 48 hours, run the hose into your own property's sewer cleanout rather than a public manhole, go slowly at low-use hours and keep water out of the street. For fencing, city code calls for a wall or fence at least 5 feet tall around the pool, gaps no wider than 4 inches and gates fitted to swing shut and latch without help.
Fortuna Foothills
East of the city, the Foothills is an unincorporated community and census-designated place, with Interstate 8 running through it. The 2020 Census counted 27,776 people. Visit Yuma describes it as a community made up largely of winter visitors that has drawn more year-round residents over time.
That seasonal pattern is the pool point here. A house that is closed up from late spring to fall leaves a pool alone through the hottest stretch of the year, and one failed pump or empty chlorine feeder in July can turn it green before anyone notices. If you leave for the summer, a weekly service plan or at least a trusted neighbor checking the equipment is worth arranging before you go. The Yuma maintenance schedule has a checklist for the months away.
Water in much of the area comes from Foothills Utilities, the former Far West Water and Sewer. When a new owner bought it in 2022, its water and sewer systems had about 25,000 connections in the Foothills area. Its water source could not be confirmed for this page, so read its annual water quality report if you want to know what is in your fill water. Your electric bill shows which power company serves your street. Because the Foothills is outside city limits, Yuma County sets the drainage rules: chlorine below 1 part per million before water goes anywhere other than the sanitary sewer, saltwater pools emptied only into the sanitary sewer, and no permanent hookup of pool water to a storm drain or wash.
Somerton
About 12 miles south of Yuma in the Yuma Valley, Somerton is an incorporated city whose economy is mostly farming. Its 2020 Census count was 14,197. The City of Somerton runs its own water division, which handles supply, treatment and delivery and posts a water quality report each year; that report is the place to look for your water's makeup. APS lists Somerton on its service territory map.
Somerton's own rules on draining pools were not researched for this page, so call the city before you empty one. Census figures show 90.5% of Somerton residents age 5 and older speak a language other than English at home. This website has an EN/ES button in the header that translates every page, guides included.
San Luis
San Luis is an incorporated city in the far southwest corner of Arizona, at the international border, reached from Yuma by heading south on U.S. 95. It grew from 25,505 people in the 2010 Census to 35,257 in 2020. Unlike Yuma, its tap water is groundwater: ten wells at six sites, 250 to 600 feet deep, each site with disinfection and manganese removal equipment, according to the city's 2024 water quality report. Fill water from wells and fill water from the river do not behave the same in a pool, so test the water you actually have rather than trusting general advice. APS lists San Luis on its map. Check with the city about its rules for draining a pool.
Wellton
Wellton is an incorporated town about 29 miles east of Yuma on Interstate 8. Its name came from "Well Town," after wells dug to supply the railroad. The state's community profile says many of its residents are winter visitors or retirees, so the same advice about pools left alone through summer applies. A 2020 Census count for the town could not be confirmed, so none is given here.
The Town of Wellton runs its own water department. Its 2018 water quality report named Colorado River water delivered through the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District canals; newer reports are posted on the town site. Electricity in town comes from that same district, not APS, according to the Town of Wellton. Distance is the practical issue: ask the company you are connected with whether it serves Wellton and whether travel changes its price. For draining rules, ask the town office.
Gadsden
Gadsden is a small unincorporated community and census-designated place on U.S. 95 near San Luis, with about 2.0 square miles of land. Little else about it could be verified for this page: no 2020 population figure, and no water provider. Your water and electric bills name the companies that serve your home. Because it is unincorporated, Yuma County's pool drainage rules apply, the same as in the Foothills. Gadsden callers reach the line in the same way as everyone else.
