Dacula businesses get water and sewer from Gwinnett County, but the City of Dacula issues its own building permits at City Hall and does its own inspections. Some Dacula properties are not on municipal sewer and need Gwinnett Environmental Health approval for new structures. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dacula.
Signs a Dacula business needs a plumber
- Drains that slow down across the whole building
- A wet or smelly area outside where the line leaves the building
- Toilets in a small shop or church that run all night
- Not enough hot water for a growing staff
- A cracked fitting or leak after a hard freeze
- Gwinnett backflow paperwork you haven't dealt with
Local conditions in Dacula
Dacula is a small, historic eastern Gwinnett town that is growing quickly, with new retail around Harbins Road and the large Hamilton Mill area sharing its 30019 ZIP. The city has no water department; its Non-City Utilities page sends water and sewer to Gwinnett County, and Gwinnett's Department of Water Resources has built sewer lines in Dacula. Gwinnett is responsible for the pipes up to the meter, and everything between the meter and the building is the owner's. The county's 24-hour dispatch is 678.376.7000.
Not every property here is on municipal sewer. Dacula's building permit application notes that some properties use private onsite wastewater systems, and new structures on those lots need approval from Gwinnett Environmental Health, 770-963-5132. For a business, that changes what a drain backup might mean and who to call.
Permits are picked up and paid for at Dacula City Hall, 442 Harbins Road, and the City Inspector does inspections with 24 hours' notice. The application's plumbing rough inspection checks that water piping is strapped every five feet and that waste lines pass a water test. Whether a standalone water heater replacement needs a permit isn't stated, so ask City Hall at 770-963-7451. Gwinnett DWR answers backflow questions at 678.376.4213. Most buildings here are young; the median home dates to 1999.
Cost factors
- Whether the building drains to a county sewer or a private onsite system
