Commercial Plumbing in Peachtree City, GA

Peachtree City is a planned community chartered in 1959 and organized into villages, known for its lakes and more than 100 miles of golf cart paths. Its commercial buildings are mostly in village shopping centers and along Highway 74 South, and the median home dates to 1993.

What to do now

1. Close the water. Use the fixture stop or the building main.
2. Call the right agency. Water main problems go to Fayette County Water System, 770-461-1146, which uses the same number after hours. Sewer spills go to WASA at 770-487-7993, or 678-300-0196 after hours.
3. Protect the space. Keep customers away from wet floors.
4. Talk to the landlord. In village centers, shared lines are usually the owner's to approve.
5. Note what's affected. One sink or the whole building.

Symptoms and likely causes

Cost factors

• Which agency's side the problem is on
• Diagnostic work before a repair
• Off-hours scheduling around village center hours
• City trade permits through the online portal or the main desk at 153 Willowbend Road; the city asks that applications not be emailed
• Backflow assembly repairs

Fayette County Water System's cross-connection program makes the customer responsible for maintaining the backflow assembly and testing it every year, or as required. Testing is done by a Certified Backflow Assembly Tester, who submits results to The Compliance Engine, and a failed assembly has to be repaired or replaced promptly. The county reports zero lead or lead-exposing material in its distribution system.

What happens when you call

You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who does commercial work in Peachtree City. Describe the business, the affected fixtures and when the space can be closed. Because water and sewer come from two different agencies here, the plumber may ask where the problem shows up first: a leak at the meter is a county matter, a backup in the street is WASA's, and anything inside the building or on the private lines is the owner's. Village-center tenants should have the landlord's contact ready.
