Who repairs a leaking water line in Loganville, GA?
The City of Loganville owns the meters and maintains 89 miles of distribution mains; the plumbing on your side of the meter is yours, and the city says it is not responsible for damage caused by customer plumbing. We trace the leak from the meter, then repair the break or replace the service line.↗↗

The Loganville story
A water system that buys every gallon
Loganville does not treat its own drinking water. The city purchases it from Monroe, Walton County and Gwinnett County, then moves it through its own mains, valves and two storage tanks to about 1.4 million gallons of daily use.↗↗
Every gallon that leaks between your meter and your house has already been bought twice, once by the city and once by you. A slow service-line leak in a front yard can run for weeks because Georgia clay swallows it before it ever puddles.↗
Housing age cuts both ways. A 2004 median build year makes galvanized steel rare here, yet a house plumbed in the polybutylene years can still have gray PB in the yard, and InterNACHI says that plastic breaks down from the inside when it reacts with disinfectants.↗↗

Digging legally: 811 and your private line
Georgia's Underground Facility Protection Act requires a locate ticket before mechanized digging, filed at least three business days ahead, and the dig has to happen within 30 calendar days of the ticket.↗↗
Here is the catch homeowners miss: the law's definition of a utility facility ends at the connection to the customer's facilities. Gas, power and the city main get painted. Your own service line past the meter usually does not, so we trace it ourselves before the bucket goes in.↗

Pipe choices and the sewer next door
On a full replacement we usually pull a continuous run of PEX or polyethylene from the meter to the house, which leaves no buried joints to fail. Copper still makes sense for a short patch on an existing copper line.↗
In sewered Loganville subdivisions the building sewer often shares the front yard. Georgia's plumbing code wants 5 feet of earth between the water service and the building sewer, unless an exception applies such as a sleeved crossing or the water pipe riding at least 12 inches above approved sewer pipe.↗

Houses and businesses
Residential jobs are mostly a single 3/4- or 1-inch service and a new shutoff. Commercial buildings add a backflow assembly on the service, and the city's distribution division sets how those are installed and tested, so we plan the device into the job instead of adding it after inspection.↗

My bill spiked. Could the meter be wrong?
Ask for a test. If it over-registers by more than 3% you are not charged; if it tests fine, the test costs $50.

Does 811 mark my water line before you dig?
Usually not the private part. The protection act treats utility facilities as ending at the customer's connection, so we locate your line.
