Inside Sharpsburg town limits, plumbing work needs the town's Single Trade Permit before it starts, except for emergency repairs. The town is tiny, and most of the 30277 ZIP lies outside it, so who issues the permit and supplies water depends on the address. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sharpsburg.
What happens when you call
Your call goes to an independent plumber who works around Sharpsburg. Tell them whether you are inside town limits, along with the heater's fuel, size, age and location.

Sharpsburg conditions
Sharpsburg is a small incorporated town in east Coweta County, about 10 miles east of Newnan and 5 miles southwest of Peachtree City. The town itself has only a few hundred residents, while the 30277 ZIP around it has about 21,600.
Inside town limits, water comes from the neighboring Town of Turin, not from Sharpsburg. Every house inside town limits is on a private onsite wastewater system rather than municipal sewer, regulated by the Coweta County Health Department. Neither of those changes a heater swap, but it is useful context if the plumber also looks at drains.
The Town of Sharpsburg issues building permits and a Single Trade Permit for electric, plumbing and mechanical work, required before plumbing work except emergency repairs. Town Hall is (770) 251-4171. Outside town limits, Coweta County handles permits.
Atlanta Gas Light is the regional pipe utility; confirm it on your bill. If you smell gas, leave first, then call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from a safe place.
Before the plumber arrives
- Confirm whether your address is inside town limits
- Clear a path to the heater
- Find the main water shutoff
- Photograph the heater's label
- Note any leaks, rust or relief valve drips
With those details in hand, the plumber can tell you on the first call which office the permit goes to and whether a matching unit is likely to be in stock. Ask, too, that the quote list removal of the old tank.
