The City of Dallas runs its own water system for about 2,650 customers in its service area, and Paulding County Water System serves other Dallas-area addresses, so a home on either has no pump of its own, and we found no count of private wells. A plumber can test a well if you have one, or trace weak water on public supply. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dallas.
What happens when you call
The number on this page is a free referral line, not a plumbing company. It connects you with an independent plumber who serves Dallas. They'll ask whether your water bill comes from the city or Paulding County, whether every fixture is weak and when the change started. If your property is on a private well, tell them what the tank gauge shows and whether the pump runs.
On a public-water home, the plumber usually reads pressure at an outdoor tap, checks the meter for movement and inspects the regulator.
What affects the cost
- The cause. Regulator replacement costs less than service line work.
- Where the leak is. Lawn digs take less work than driveway or patio cuts.
- Well equipment. On a private well, depth and tank condition matter.
- Permits. Dallas Community Development handles building permits, with inspections by Bureau Veritas.
Fast growth brings its own pattern of problems. In newer subdivisions, service lines are sometimes nicked during later work such as fence posts, irrigation or landscaping, and the leak shows up months later as a soggy patch or a higher bill. Mention any recent yard projects when you call, and note whether the soggy spot sits near a fence line or new beds.
Dallas water service
Dallas is Paulding County's seat, a fast-growing northwest exurb whose population roughly tripled between 2000 and 2020. The city's own system has about 37 miles of distribution lines within city limits. Its water is purchased from Paulding County Water System, which draws from Richland Creek Reservoir, fed by pumping from the Etowah River, and also buys treated water from the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority.
Because some Dallas-area addresses are on the county system instead, your bill is the quickest way to know who to call about the meter. The median home dates to 2002, so problems more often come from regulators set wrong or leaks at fittings than from old pipe.
Before the visit
- Check whether the City of Dallas or Paulding County bills you
- Note whether every fixture or just one is weak
- Look at the meter dial with all taps off
- Find the main shutoff
- On a well, note the tank gauge and breaker
