Local conditions in Locust Grove

Locust Grove is a small, fast-growing I-75 city in southern Henry County, known for the Tanger Outlet Center and surrounded by rural land and unincorporated communities such as Luella. Retail, restaurants and service businesses cluster near Exit 212 and along GA-42.

The city's Department of Public Works manages all water and sewer activity, with a utilities manager on staff. Its water supply is partly groundwater: a city spring on Davis Lake Road, two wells at Warren Holder Park and a Strong Rock Parkway well, with the Henry County Water Authority as backup. The city has three storage tanks and lists the Indian Creek plant on the sewer side. Water and sewer are billed together monthly and paid at the Water Department in City Hall, 3644 Highway 42; the number is 770-957-5043. Whether addresses outside city limits in ZIP 30248 are on Henry County water wasn't verified.

Community Development offers a Plumbing Permit Application and residential and commercial building permit packets, with a permit technician and construction inspector on staff, from the rear of the LGI Building at the Municipal Complex.

Our sources also don't give a housing-age figure for the city, so ask the plumber what kind of pipe your building has.

Commercial Plumbing questions in Locust Grove

Which office issues the permit for commercial plumbing work?

The City of Locust Grove Community Development office, which offers a Plumbing Permit Application and commercial building permit packets.

Why did our water bill suddenly jump?

Running toilets, a stuck valve or a leak past the meter are common causes. Locust Grove bills water and sewer together, so a leak raises both; the Water Department at City Hall can confirm the reading.

In a leased space, who pays for plumbing repairs?

The lease decides. In retail centers, owners usually handle the service line and building sewer, while tenants handle fixtures inside their space.

Does a business here need a backflow prevention assembly?

We didn't find a published Locust Grove backflow program in our sources. Ask Public Works at 770-957-5043 what your connection needs.
