If you smell gas in a Peachtree City home, leave and call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from away from the suspected leak. Repairs and new lines past the meter are plumber work, so call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Peachtree City.

Peachtree City is a planned community in Fayette County, chartered in 1959, organized into villages and known for its lakes and more than 100 miles of golf cart paths. Georgia 811 lists Atlanta Gas Light as Fayette County's emergency gas operator, and no city gas system exists, so AGL owns the pipes while residents buy gas from marketers. Census survey data put the median build year at 1993, with about 14% built before 1980.
What to do right now
- Gas smell? Everyone out, without switching anything on or off.
- Call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321, from away from the house.
- Stay out until AGL or firefighters clear it.
- Have the leak repaired and the piping pressure tested by a plumber.
- Don't email the permit. The city asks that applications go through its online portal or the main desk on Willowbend Road.
Symptoms and likely causes

|---|---|

| Water heater pilot keeps going out | Thermocouple or draft issue |
| Hiss at an appliance shutoff | Worn valve or loose connector |
| Bubbles in a puddle over a yard line | Buried line leak |
What affects cost
- Distance from the meter to the appliance, patio or dock area
- Capacity of the existing main line
- Crawl space, basement or slab routing
- Trenching and protection for outdoor runs
- City trade permit and inspection
Calling for help
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who does gas work in Peachtree City and Fayette County. Lake-area homes often want gas on the patio; plan those lines before hardscape goes in, and call Georgia 811 before digging. Homes from the 1990s are also reaching the age for water heater and furnace replacement, which is the right time to recheck pipe sizing and swap old connectors.
A tankless water heater is a common upgrade here, and it changes the gas side more than people expect: it draws much more gas at full fire than a tank, so the plumber totals every appliance in the house before tying in, and AGL may need to change the meter. The plumber handles the house piping, the permit and the pressure test.
