Homes on Newnan Utilities water have no private pump; the utility pumps creek water into reservoirs and treats it before it reaches you. Some addresses in the wider 30263 and 30265 ZIPs may fall outside that service area, and a property there with its own well needs the pump, switch and tank checked when water stops. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Newnan.
When the well is the problem
- Faucets stop running throughout the house
- A pump that hums but delivers nothing
- Repeated tripping of the pump breaker
- Pressure that climbs and sags while a tap runs
- Sand or silt in toilets and aerators
Before any pump is pulled, a plumber should check voltage at the control box, the switch and the tank's air charge.
Water around Newnan
Newnan Utilities provides electric, water and wastewater service. Its supply is surface water pumped from Line Creek, Sandy and Brown Creek, and White Oak Creek into about two billion gallons of storage beside the treatment plant. A Newnan Utilities customer who loses pressure should look at the regulator, the service line and the fixtures, not a pump.
Our fact sheet notes that some addresses with a Newnan mailing ZIP may be outside the utility's service area, but it couldn't confirm who serves them, and we found no count of private wells in the area. So treat your own lot as the deciding factor: a capped casing outdoors and a pressure tank in the garage, basement or a pump house mean you're on a well.
Most homes in the city are fairly new, with a median build year of 2004. On well properties, that can still mean a pump approaching the end of a normal service life.
Pump houses deserve a look on older rural lots. Wasps, rodents and moisture are hard on wiring and switches, and a pressure switch with burned or pitted contacts is one of the most common, and least expensive, reasons a well suddenly stops.
Price factors
- What failed. Switches and capacitors cost less than a motor.
- How deep. Deeper settings mean more pipe and wire to bring up.
- Tank state. A waterlogged tank is a common add-on replacement.
- Wiring. Rodent damage or corrosion in a pump house adds time.
- Permits. Inside the city, the City of Newnan Building Department handles permits; outside, Coweta County may.
