Our North Atlanta, Cobb and Cherokee Coverage Area

Wholesale Authority Water

Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, created in 1951, supplies Cobb cities and the county system from the Chattahoochee and Lake Allatoona, while Fulton County’s Tom Lowe plant serves Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek and Milton. Check your bill for your provider.

Polybutylene and Aging Fixtures

Homes from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s may still have polybutylene supply lines, which can fail at fittings without warning. Original heaters and shutoffs are also near the end of their life.

Newer Subdivisions and Large Homes

Many newer homes have long supply runs and several baths. Early defects such as loose fittings and heater setup errors should go to the builder in writing while the warranty is active.

Hillside Lots and Red Clay

Lots slope toward creeks and clay holds water around foundations. Keep downspouts clear and have a plumber check yard drains and the sewer cleanout before the wet season.
