Plumbers in Sharpsburg, GA

A town of a few hundred in a ZIP of twenty thousand

Sharpsburg was incorporated by the Georgia General Assembly in 1871. It is tiny, with 327 residents in 2020, and sits on Georgia 16 in east Coweta County, about 10 miles east of Newnan, 5 miles southwest of Peachtree City and roughly 32 miles from downtown Atlanta. Georgia 54 also passes nearby, as do East Coweta High School and Trinity Christian School. The surrounding 30277 ZIP has about 21,600 residents, and most of them live outside the town. The facts below apply to the town limits; the wider area may have different water providers.

Water from Turin

Sharpsburg does not run a water system. The town says water inside its limits comes from the Town of Turin's Water Department, whose main line is 770-599-0777. A leak on the street side of the meter goes to Turin; a leak on the house side, or anything inside, is a plumber's job. Turin is also the place to ask for water quality results.

No municipal sewer

Every house inside town limits drains to a private onsite wastewater system, and those systems are regulated by the Coweta County Health Department's Environmental Services (770-254-7422). That changes how drain problems are handled. A plumber can clear and repair drains inside the house and the line running out to the system, while the onsite system itself is regulated by the county health department. If several fixtures back up at once, or the yard is soggy over the drain field, mention it when you call.

A few habits help: spread out laundry loads, keep grease and wipes out of drains, and know where the tank lid and cleanout are.

Town permits

Inside the limits, the Town of Sharpsburg issues building permits and a Single Trade Permit for electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. That permit is required before plumbing work, except emergency repairs. Town Hall is (770) 251-4171.

Housing

For the town itself, the median year built is 1991, with about 32% of homes older than 1980, though the town is small enough that those figures rest on very few houses.

Gas, and calling

Atlanta Gas Light owns the gas pipes in its territory; check your bill to confirm. If you smell gas, leave first, then call 911 and AGL at 877.427.4321.
