Palmetto conditions

Palmetto is a small city in far south Fulton, edging into Coweta County, chartered in 1854. Its electric, water, sewer and solid waste are all city-operated, and Public Works maintains water and sewer service lines and connections. That makes the city the first call if a backup could be on the public side. Where the city's wastewater is treated was not verified.

The housing is a mix of older homes and 1990s and 2000s subdivisions. The median home dates to 1990, and about 35% were built before 1980, many near the historic downtown and Main Street mill site. Older laterals may be clay or cast iron, where roots and scale are common camera findings. Newer subdivisions usually have plastic lines that can sag or separate. The 30268 area outside city limits is more rural, and sewer there was not verified.

Plumbing work inside city limits is permitted by the City of Palmetto, not Fulton County, at City Hall on Toombs Street; plumbers bring a current business license and state card when applying. Keep the camera video with the permit paperwork as a record of what was found and fixed. If the problem is in the city's part of the system, share the footage with Public Works so it can check its side.
