Well Pump Repair in Peachtree City, GA

Water in Peachtree City

Chartered in 1959 and organized into villages, Peachtree City is known for its golf cart paths and lakes. Some of those lakes, Lake Peachtree, Lake Kedron and Lake McIntosh, are also water sources: Fayette County Water System draws from them and from Lake Horton, pumping Flint River water to Lake Horton when needed. Sewer is separate, handled by the Peachtree City Water and Sewerage Authority. The median home dates to 1993, so original regulators in many houses are past their prime.

Sewer here is a separate authority from water, so a slow drain or sewer backup goes to a different contact than a water problem. Keep both numbers handy. Many homes also have irrigation tied into the line, and a leaking zone can draw down pressure without any sign inside the house.

What to do now

1. Check with a neighbor. If they're affected too, call Fayette County Water System at 770-461-1146, the same number after hours.
2. Compare an outdoor spigot and an indoor faucet to see whether the problem starts before or inside the house.
3. Watch the meter with every tap closed for a few minutes.
4. Look for wet ground along the line between the meter and the house.
5. If you're on a well, check the breaker and read the tank gauge.

Symptom and cause

Cost factors

• Diagnosis first. A pressure test points to the part.
• Leak access. Lawns cost less to open than driveways or cart-path crossings.
• Regulator and valves. Usually a moderate job.
• Permits. Peachtree City's Building Department handles permits in the city.

The number on this page is a free referral line, not a plumbing company. It connects you with an independent plumber who works in Peachtree City and can explain the options once the cause is clear. Say whether the problem is house-wide or limited to one area, and whether irrigation is involved.
