Local Guides

Baldwin County is not one plumbing market. Downtown Fairhope has cast iron laterals running under lots that have been built on for a century. The beach communities run on grinder pumps and a water table close enough to the surface to matter. Bay Minette and the north end of the county get colder every winter than the coast does. Utility boundaries change with the town line, and so does the answer to who owns the pipe past the meter. These guides go town by town: what's in the ground where you live, who's responsible for which part of it, and the problems your particular street keeps having.
