Five city wells

Pickerington's latest water report says the city's water comes from five wells at the water plant site west of Diley Road. The city also has emergency connections with Fairfield County Utilities at four locations, which were not used that year. The report says the distribution system has no lead or galvanized service lines needing replacement.

Newer homes

Six in ten built since 2000

The median Pickerington home was built in 2003, and about 59% were built in 2000 or later. Many heaters from that building boom are past the age when tanks commonly start to fail. If yours is original and showing rust, a damp base or rumbling, plan a replacement before it leaks.

Fuel

Gas, with one in four electric

About 73% of Pickerington homes heat with gas and 25% with electricity. Gas heaters usually fail at the thermocouple, igniter or gas valve. Electric heaters fail at an element or thermostat, and both are routine repairs on a sound tank.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Pickerington homes

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  2. Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
  3. Gas smell? Leave the house first. From outside, call 911 and your gas utility; Columbia Gas of Ohio is 1-800-344-4077.
