Cobb County Water System serves Kennesaw, and the city's Building Services lists it as the related water agency, so homes here don't depend on a private well pump, and we found no count of wells. When water weakens, a plumber can find whether it's the regulator, a leak or something else. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Kennesaw.
Kennesaw's water supply
Kennesaw is a Cobb County city with Civil War and railroad history, home to Kennesaw State University and next to Kennesaw Mountain. Its water comes from Cobb County Water System, which buys treated water from the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, drawn from the Chattahoochee River and Lake Allatoona and disinfected with free chlorine. Cobb owns the line from the main to the meter; the owner owns the pipe from the meter to the house. Most homes date to the 1990s and 2000s, with a median of 1998.
Most Kennesaw subdivisions were built with a pressure regulator at the point where the service line enters the house, often in the garage or near the water heater. After twenty-some years, those regulators commonly start to drift. Knowing where yours is helps a plumber get to work quickly, and it's also where you'll find the main shutoff in many homes.
What to do first
- See if neighbors are affected. If so, Cobb's emergency line is 770-419-6201.
- Turn off every fixture and watch the meter. A moving dial means a leak past the meter.
- Check the irrigation system if you have one; a stuck zone can drain pressure.
- Make sure the main shutoff is fully open.
- Note whether hot and cold behave the same.
Common symptoms in Kennesaw homes
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Whole house weak, slowly worsening | Regulator wearing out |
| Loud banging when taps close | High pressure from a failed regulator |
| Water bill up, meter moving | Leak on the owner's line or a running toilet |
| Only hot water weak | Water heater valve or sediment |
| Weak after a repair | Valve not fully reopened |
What affects the cost
- Which part. A regulator or valve is a smaller job than a line repair.
- Digging. Leaks under concrete or landscaping take more work.
- Irrigation repairs if a zone or backflow device is leaking.
- Permits. Kennesaw's Building Services Department handles permits.
