Plumbers covering Lebanon County

Lebanon city has the oldest housing stock in the county, which shapes almost every plumbing problem here. We cover 17042 and 17046, on the rowhomes and older stock that make up most of the city.

Water supply: Lebanon city is supplied by the City of Lebanon Authority, which also serves a number of surrounding municipalities.

A small township on the west edge of the city that pumps its own drinking water from two wells. Most of its houses are attached, and most went up before 1960.

Water supply: West Lebanon Township runs its own water system, fed by two township wells, with an emergency connection to the City of Lebanon Authority. Its customers are required to have backflow prevention.

A large township north of the city with a bit of everything: 1970s houses, mobile home parks, new subdivisions and properties on septic, which the township wants pumped in 2026.

Water supply: Most of North Lebanon is on City of Lebanon Authority water, including roughly 12 miles of township-built mains being handed over to CoLA. Parts of the township are on private wells.

The township south of the city, where the 1950s built more homes than any other decade and the 2000s added a second wave of subdivisions. Those houses are now at very different stages.

Water supply: South Lebanon is on City of Lebanon Authority water. The township runs its own sewer, which is treated at CoLA's plant.

A small borough along Route 422 where more than half the houses went up before 1960 and a second wave followed in the 1980s. Those two eras fail in different ways.

Water supply: Cleona takes its drinking water from the City of Lebanon Authority, while the Cleona Borough Authority runs the sewer and bills it alongside stormwater.

Palmyra splits neatly into an older borough core and decades of newer development around it, and the two have almost opposite plumbing profiles. We cover 17078, on both the older core and the newer subdivisions.

Water supply: Palmyra and much of the western side of Lebanon County are served by Pennsylvania American Water.

The 17003 ZIP covers the township center along Main Street plus a lot of surrounding farmland, so plumbing here splits between public water in town and private wells outside it.

Water supply: Annville is served by Pennsylvania American Water. Properties in the surrounding townships are frequently on private wells.

Myerstown runs its own borough water authority on local wells, which makes it different from most of the county. Outside the borough, 17067 is farm country on private wells.

Water supply: Myerstown borough is supplied by the Myerstown Water Authority, which draws from its own wells. Properties outside the borough are commonly on private wells.

A borough built around an iron furnace, with housing to match. The age of the building is the single most useful thing to know before any work starts here.

Water supply: Cornwall borough has taken its water from the City of Lebanon Authority for roughly three decades. That matters for one specific reason. CoLA publishes no program covering the customer-owned half of a lead service line, so if a letter arrives about your pipe material, the buried run from the curb stop into the house is yours to arrange.

On Pennsylvania American Water supply, which changes the biggest question here. If your service line is lead, the utility replaces the customer-owned half under its own program.

Water supply: Campbelltown is served by Pennsylvania American Water, which acquired the former Campbelltown Water Company. That is genuinely good news if a service line letter arrives, because PAW replaces the customer-owned half under a program the Public Utility Commission approved in October 2019.

A borough sitting at a creek confluence, which is the fact that shapes most of the calls. Water in the basement here is a groundwater problem far more often than a plumbing one.

Water supply: Your water bill names your supplier, which is the reliable way to check rather than guessing from the address. On the sewer side the Northern Lebanon County Authority has been upgrading the sanitary sewer system in the borough, which is worth knowing if your drains have been behaving oddly while work is going on.

Some of Fredericksburg is on the Fredericksburg Sewer and Water Authority and some of Bethel Township is on wells. The two need a different first phone call when something goes wrong.

Water supply: Fredericksburg has a public system: the Fredericksburg Sewer and Water Authority runs water and wastewater here and publishes its own emergency guidance. Properties further out in Bethel Township are on private wells instead. Which one you are on decides who to call when the water stops, so it is worth knowing before you need it.

A compact railroad-era borough with farmland immediately around it. Two different plumbing realities inside a couple of miles, and the boundary is whether you are on a well.

Water supply: Richland Borough owns its water system, fed by springs and wells. One well was abandoned over nitrate and Well No. 9 was drilled as a backup, which is a useful thing to know if you are on a private well nearby: nitrate is a real local test result, not a theoretical one. The Millcreek-Richland Joint Authority runs the sewer.

Many buildings around Newmanstown went up long before indoor plumbing, and it shows. Plumbing added to a house far older than plumbing behaves differently from plumbing designed in.

Water supply: Three answers apply here depending on the address. The Newmanstown Water Authority serves most of the village. North Sheridan Road is served by the Womelsdorf-Robesonia Joint Authority. The rest of Millcreek Township is on private wells and on-lot sewer, and the Millcreek-Richland Joint Authority runs the public sewer. Your bill tells you which of the three you are on.

Some of the oldest building stock in the county, in a town Alexander Schaeffer laid out in 1758. Age is the thing that determines the work here, and it determines almost all of it.

Water supply: Heidelberg Township runs its own Water and Sewer Department, which serves Schaefferstown. The Schaefferstown Water Company behind it was chartered in 1845 and is often described as the oldest public water works in the country. Properties further out in the township are on private wells instead, so the address decides which applies.
