What does sewer line repair involve in Loganville, GA?
Inside Loganville's limits, city sewer is the rule wherever it is available; the development code bars septic tanks there. That makes most jobs lateral repairs or conversions from a failed tank to the main. Atlanta Water & Sewage Solutions confirms availability with the city, then digs, repairs or replaces the line.↗↗

The Loganville story
A city that pushes lots onto its mains
Loganville's development regulations go further than a distance test. If the utility department says public sewer is available, a tank is off the table and every structure must be connected.↗
State rules point the same way. A failing septic system has to connect when sewer is available, and Georgia treats sewer within 200 feet of the property line as available. Put together, a dead drain field on a sewered Loganville street usually ends in a new lateral, not a new field.↗
Everything drains to the city plant on Highway 81 North. The collection system itself runs roughly 81 miles with 24 lift stations, which means a lot of homes sit downhill of a pump station.↗↗
On the record
- Under Georgia rule 511-3-1-.03(1), a failing septic system must connect to public sewer if sewer is available.↗
More about Loganville
Two counties, one city sewer
Loganville reaches from western Walton into southeastern Gwinnett. The county line changes who permits a septic tank, but not who runs sewer inside the limits: that is the city either way.↗↗
Just outside the limits, on the Walton side, we found no county sewer provider at all. The Walton County Water Department, headquartered on Highway 81 SW in Loganville, publishes water rates only.↗

How a Loganville job runs
We start with a camera run to find the break and its depth. For a conversion, we first get the city's word on availability and connection, then lay the new lateral and take the old tank out of service.↗
With a 2004 median build year, most lines here are likely plastic rather than clay. Failures are usually settled joints, construction damage or roots at a fitting, not a pipe worn out by age.↗
Conversions take more planning than a spot fix. The house drain often leaves the back of the home toward the old tank, while the city main runs out front. That can mean rerouting the building drain around the foundation, keeping steady fall the whole way, and crossing a driveway. Where the lot slopes away from the street, we talk through grade with the city before digging. The tank is pumped, then crushed or filled so it cannot collapse later. Each of those steps shows up in the quote, so you can compare it fairly against any repair option.

Who owns the sewer lateral in Loganville?
We have not found Loganville's published rule on the lateral ownership line. Call the city utility before a repair and we'll work to their answer.
My septic failed and a main is 150 feet away. Now what?
Georgia requires a failing system to connect when sewer lies within 200 feet of the property line, so expect a connection.
Is there county sewer outside Loganville's limits?
Not on the Walton side that we can find. Walton County's utility publishes water rates only, so homes past the city lines use septic.
