Water and plumbing notes for Dunwoody
Dunwoody's water and sewer are owned and operated by DeKalb County's Department of Watershed Management; the city itself has no water or sewer authority. DeKalb draws from the Chattahoochee River and treats at the Scott Candler plant, its single treatment facility. DeKalb's report does not publish a hardness figure, so we do not quote one. What is well documented is the age of the pipe: county figures show Dunwoody recorded more water main breaks than any other area of its district between 2017 and 2025, and DeKalb is currently replacing more than 12,000 feet of water main installed in 1955 in the Dunwoody Knoll area, a stretch that saw dozens of breaks over the decades. DeKalb's watershed system as a whole averages several water main breaks a day, so a break-prone street is a countywide pattern, not something specific to one neighborhood. For a homeowner, the practical point is knowing which side of the meter a problem is on, because a break in the street is the county's to fix and the service line to the house is not.

What homeowners in Dunwoody commonly deal with
Dunwoody sits on DeKalb County infrastructure that the city does not own, and parts of it are old enough that the county has an active replacement program running in the area.
- Discolored water and pressure drops that often originate in aging county mains rather than in the house
- Confusion over the boundary between the county water main and the homeowner's service line
- Original supply lines and end-of-life water heaters in the 1960s through 1980s housing stock
- Residential service only. County-owned mains in the street are DeKalb Watershed Management's responsibility, not ours.

Common plumbing questions from Dunwoody homeowners
Answers to what homeowners in Dunwoody ask us most, from emergency help to service coverage.
My water is discolored. Is that my plumbing?
Often it is not. Discolored water after a nearby main break or repair usually comes from the distribution system, not your house. If it persists at only one fixture or only on the hot side, that points back inside, and we can tell the difference.
Where does DeKalb's responsibility end and mine begin?
Broadly, the county owns the main in the street and its meter; the service line from there into the house is the homeowner's. We will tell you which side a problem is on before doing any work, even when the answer means you do not need us.
Why does my street keep having water main breaks?
Parts of Dunwoody are served by mains installed in the 1950s. DeKalb has an active replacement project in the Dunwoody Knoll area for exactly that reason, covering more than 12,000 feet of 1955-vintage pipe.
How hard is Dunwoody water?
DeKalb County's report does not publish a hardness figure, so we do not quote one. If it matters for an equipment decision, the county's own report is the right source.
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.
