Spring is the right time to undo winter's damage and get the plumbing ready for warm weather. Here is the Redlands checklist.
Check the outside

Flush the water heater

Pour water into the pit and confirm the pump starts and stops cleanly before the rainy season. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines In Redlands, spring storms are the real test.
Hunt for hidden leaks
Check under sinks and around toilets, and watch the water bill for unexplained jumps. A winter leak often hides until spring.
