Gettysburg Municipal Authority | Backflow Services & Plumbing in Gettysburg, PA 17325

We manage the public water and sewer mains, which includes inspections, repairs, and installations of these lines up to the property line. For issues within your home, such as indoor plumbing repairs, you would contact a licensed private plumber. Our focus is on the system that delivers water to and carries wastewater from your property.

First, check if multiple drains in your home are affected. If it's isolated to one fixture, it's likely an internal clog. If multiple fixtures are backing up, it could indicate a problem with the main sewer line. Contact us; we can inspect the public sewer main near your property to determine if the blockage is in the municipal line, which we will clear. If the issue is on your private property line, we can advise you on the next steps with a local plumber.

In early 2024, we are beginning a proactive monitoring program for unregulated contaminants, including PFAS (often called 'forever chemicals'), in our drinking water. This voluntary program goes beyond current regulations to test and ensure the long-term safety and quality of Gettysburg's water supply. Results will be shared with the public as part of our commitment to transparency.
