Dacula has no water department; Gwinnett County provides water and is responsible for the pipes that bring it to the meter. Everything between the meter and the home is the homeowner's, and the City of Dacula issues building permits and does its own inspections. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dacula.
Signs the line is leaking
- A wet strip between the meter and the house that doesn't dry out
- Pressure weakening in every room
- The leak indicator on the Gwinnett meter moving with taps off
- A higher Gwinnett bill with no change in use
- Water at the foundation where the pipe enters
Dacula conditions
Dacula is a small, historic eastern Gwinnett town that's growing quickly, with new retail around Harbins Road and the large Hamilton Mill area sharing its 30019 ZIP. The city's Non-City Utilities page sends water and sewer to Gwinnett County, whose 24-hour dispatch line is 678-376-7000. Gwinnett is responsible for the pipes up to the meter; everything between the meter and the home is yours.
Most homes are fairly new, with a median build year of 1999 and about 13% before 1980. Lines in subdivisions off Winder Highway and University Parkway are usually plastic or copper that fails at fittings or where later digging disturbed them. Some Dacula properties are not on municipal sewer and use a private onsite wastewater system, so the plumber should locate it before excavating. A wet area near that system could be either problem; clear water and a moving meter point to the supply line.
Dacula issues its own building permits at City Hall on Harbins Road, and a City Inspector handles inspections with 24 hours' notice. The city's plumbing rough inspection checks that water piping is strapped every five feet, a sign the city looks closely at supply work.
What changes the price
- Distance between the meter and the house.
- Surface: driveways, sod and landscaping.
- Scope: a single fitting or a damaged section.
- Working around an onsite wastewater system on lots that have one.
- Permit and inspection through Dacula City Hall.
How the call works
This is a referral service, not a plumbing company. The call connects you with an independent local plumber who serves Dacula. Describe where the water is, how long it's been there and whether the meter moves with everything off. If water is running hard, close the main valve first; if the leak is before it, Gwinnett can shut off the meter.
