Towns we serve around Union City

Dispatch covers five nearby towns. Each blurb below links to a page with local housing eras, ZIP codes, water details and a map.

Fairburn (ZIP 30213) mixes an 1890s railroad downtown, mid-century streets and thousands of 2000s homes, so the plumbing problems differ block to block.

Interstate exits and roads dispatch routes by

Plumbers travel the same corridors you do. I-85 runs through the middle of the service area, and each exit leads to one of the towns we cover. Knowing the exit helps when you give directions over the phone.

Rush hour on I-85 and SR 138 can slow any dispatch, which is why we never promise a fixed arrival time. Tell dispatch your nearest cross street and the plumber can pick the quickest route.

ZIP codes we serve at a glance

ZIP 30349 is shared by South Fulton and College Park, so give dispatch the street name as well as the ZIP. Riverdale is in Clayton County, which has a different water utility than Union City, so the shutoff and billing contacts differ there.

Who to call about the water outside your house

In Union City, Public Services at (770) 306-6855 handles the city's water and sewer lines, and the after-hours extension is 1. A leak on the street side of your meter belongs to the city. Anything past the meter is yours to fix, and that is where we come in.

Before any work that digs, Georgia 811 must mark buried utilities. Permit questions inside Union City go to Community Development at (770) 515-7920. Georgia's state plumbing code is based on the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and other towns have their own permit offices.

How the towns differ for plumbing

Union City buys water from the City of Atlanta through ten master meters and runs its own pipes from there. Fairburn also buys Atlanta water, through 19 master meters, and runs its own utility. The source is the same river, but the pipes after the meter belong to different cities, so a pressure or billing question goes to a different office in each town.

South Fulton is a much larger city than its neighbors, created in 2017 from many older communities, so housing age varies from one neighborhood to the next. College Park sits beside the airport and has one of the oldest historic districts in the area, where old drain lines are common.

Riverdale is in Clayton County, which means its water and sewer service come from a different utility than Union City's. Palmetto is a small town on the Fulton and Coweta line. On every call, give dispatch the street, the town and the ZIP, and the plumber will bring tools for the age of home you describe.
