Water and plumbing notes for Duluth
Duluth is served by the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, which draws from Lake Lanier and treats at its Lanier and Shoal Creek filter plants. Gwinnett is one of the few metro utilities that publishes hardness directly: its water quality report gives a consistent figure of about 22 milligrams per liter, roughly 1.5 grains per gallon, which the county itself describes as slightly hard. The same report identifies chlorine as the disinfectant, not chloramine, which matters if you are choosing filtration. Duluth's housing tells a clear story: the city has an old railroad core dating to 1871, but nearly 58 percent of its housing units were built between 1980 and 1999 and effectively none predate 1940. Both septic and sewer service exist within the city limits, and Gwinnett runs an active septic-to-sewer conversion program.

What homeowners in Duluth commonly deal with
Nearly sixty percent of Duluth's housing was built between 1980 and 1999, and the city has effectively no pre-1940 stock despite its old railroad-town core.
- Supply lines from the 1980s and 1990s build wave, including the years when polybutylene was still in use
- Both septic and sewer service inside the city limits, so a slow drain needs the right diagnosis first
- Water heaters reaching end of life together across subdivisions built in the same few years
- Residential service only. Septic tank pumping and drain-field work is referred out.

Common plumbing questions from Duluth homeowners
Answers to what homeowners in Duluth ask us most, from emergency help to service coverage.
Is Duluth water hard?
Only slightly. Gwinnett County's water quality report gives a consistent hardness of about 22 milligrams per liter, roughly 1.5 grains per gallon, which the county describes as slightly hard. Most homes do not need a softener at that level.
Does Gwinnett use chloramine?
No. Gwinnett's own water quality report identifies chlorine as the disinfectant and does not mention chloramine anywhere. That matters if you are selecting filtration, because the two call for different media.
Am I on sewer or septic in Duluth?
Both exist inside the city limits. Your Gwinnett County water bill will show a sewer charge if you are connected, and the city offers a stormwater credit for maintained septic systems, so the paperwork usually tells you.
Could my 1980s Duluth home have polybutylene?
It is worth checking. Polybutylene was installed nationally from about 1978 to 1995, and a quarter of Duluth's housing went up in the 1980s. We can confirm the material on site rather than guessing from the build year.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured Georgia plumbing company led by a master plumber with more than 30 years of Metro Atlanta experience.
