Commercial Plumbing in Tyrone, GA

Is a Tyrone business on town sewer?

Maybe not. The Town of Tyrone has its own sewer ordinance and buys wastewater treatment capacity from Fulton County, but its lines serve specific developments. The mayor has said some existing residences have no access to sewer, and properties outside the sewered areas drain to private onsite wastewater systems. Before signing a lease or planning a restaurant, find out which applies. On a private system, grease and high water use need careful planning.

What backflow rules apply?

Fayette County Water System's. The county supplies Tyrone's water and maintains its water mains; the town's notices send main repairs to the county at 770-461-1146, which also takes after-hours emergencies. Under the county's cross-connection program, the customer maintains the backflow assembly and has it tested every year, or as required, by a Certified Backflow Assembly Tester, who submits the results to The Compliance Engine. A failed assembly must be repaired or replaced promptly.

Who issues permits?

The Town of Tyrone Building Department, with permits and inspections handled by SAFEbuilt. It issues residential and commercial building permits, including plumbing, HVAC and electrical trade permits, through Community Core, which requires account registration. Permits and construction questions go to 678-216-0641, and inspections to 770-474-9393.

A short local note

Tyrone is a small town in Fayette County's northwest corner, bordered by Peachtree City, Fulton County and Coweta County. Its buildings are mostly newer; the median home dates to 2000. Commercial calls here tend to involve water heaters, fixtures and drain lines, and for unsewered properties, the line out to the onsite system. If anyone smells gas, leave first and call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from outside.

When you call, you'll be connected with an independent local plumber who takes commercial jobs in Tyrone. Tell them whether the building is on town sewer, which fixtures are affected and when the space can be closed. A small business in a converted house or a newer strip building may also want the plumber to check the water heater and shutoff valves while on site, since those are the parts most likely to fail next. If the job involves new piping or a heater replacement, the plumber will handle the trade permit through Community Core.
