Locust Grove runs its own water system fed partly by groundwater: a city spring on Davis Lake Road and city wells at Warren Holder Park and Strong Rock Parkway, with Henry County Water Authority as backup. Those wells belong to the city, so a home on city water has no pump of its own; a property with a private well, which we can't count from available sources, does. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Locust Grove.
Locust Grove's water supply
Locust Grove is a small, fast-growing I-75 city in southern Henry County, known for its outlet center and surrounded by rural land and communities such as Luella. City Public Works manages all water and sewer activity and bills both on one monthly statement paid at City Hall. The supply is a mix of a city spring producing about 350 gallons per minute, two wells at Warren Holder Park producing about 250, and a well on Strong Rock Parkway, with Henry County Water Authority providing backup.
Because the city draws groundwater, people sometimes assume homes here have wells. A house on the city system doesn't; the city maintains those pumps. Whether addresses outside city limits in the 30248 ZIP are on Henry County water wasn't confirmed, and the rural land nearby may include private wells, so look at your own property for a casing and a pressure tank.

|---|---|---|

| Bill | Combined city water and sewer bill | None for water |
Signs to call about
- On a private well: dry taps, a short-cycling switch or a tank gauge near zero
- On city water: weak flow at every fixture, often a regulator or leak
- A wet spot between the meter and the house
- A pump breaker that won't stay set
Seasonal notes
Storms bring power surges that can damage private well controls. Hard freezes put exposed wellhead piping and outdoor meters at risk, so insulate before winter. If water drops for many city customers at once, City Hall is the first call; problems on your side of the meter are a plumber's.
The number on this page is a free referral line, not a plumbing company. It connects you with an independent plumber who works in and around Locust Grove. Start by saying whether you pay the city for water or have your own well, then describe what you see at the tank or meter. That one detail decides whether the visit is about a pump or a pipe.
