Well Pump Repair in Douglasville, GA

The City of Douglasville sends residents to the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority for water service, and WSA calls itself the county's sole water provider, so a private well pump is uncommon here and we found no count of wells. A plumber can find what's really behind weak water, or test a well if your property has one. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Douglasville.

Do Douglasville homes need a well pump?

Homes on WSA water don't. The authority was created in 1985 when it bought the city's and the county's water and sewer systems, and it now supplies water from the Dog River Reservoir in western Douglas County, treated at the Bear Creek plant, with Bear Creek Reservoir as a supplemental supply. If you pay WSA, there's no pump on your property. A capped casing in the yard and a pressure tank indoors would mean a private well, which a plumber can service.

Why is my water weak on WSA supply?

Douglasville is the Douglas County seat, with a historic downtown and mostly 1990s and 2000s growth along I-20; the median home dates to 2001. In houses that age, the common causes of weak water are a failing pressure regulator, a leak on the private line between the meter and the house, a valve left partly closed after a repair, or debris in aerators after main work. Older homes near downtown may also have aging supply pipe.

One quick comparison helps: check the flow at an outdoor spigot near the meter, then at an upstairs fixture. If both are weak, the regulator or the service line is the likely culprit. If only indoor fixtures suffer, the trouble is in the house piping or a valve. Note whether hot and cold behave the same, since weak hot water alone points to the water heater.

Who handles which part of the line?

WSA owns the meter and the lines in the road right-of-way. The customer is responsible for water and sewer lines on the property, from the meter to the home. WSA's business-hours line is 770-949-7617, and its after-hours emergency line is 770-942-6633. A leak in your yard or under your house is a plumbing repair.

Well Pump Repair questions in Douglasville

Who do I call when the problem is the water main or the meter?

WSA owns the meter and lines in the right-of-way. Call 770-949-7617 during business hours or 770-942-6633 after hours for emergencies. The rest is the owner's.

Is my house on a private well or on public water?

A WSA water bill means public water and no pump. A capped casing and indoor pressure tank mean a private well.

My meter keeps turning with every tap shut. Is that a pump problem?

A spinning meter with every tap closed means a leak on your property. WSA makes that the customer's responsibility, so a plumber handles it.

What should I have ready when I call about a well?

Have your WSA account handy, note whether all fixtures are affected, when it began and whether you've seen water pooling outside.
