Fuel

Electric, gas and oil under one ZIP

About 49% of homes heat with electricity, 33% with utility gas and 12% with fuel oil, so the water heater in a Willow Street basement could be any of the three types. PPL's tariff lists West Lampeter Township in its electric territory, and PPL's rebate site listed $400 for an ENERGY STAR heat pump water heater in October 2026.

UGI names West Lampeter and Pequea among the Lancaster County townships it serves for gas, though not every street has a line. If you smell gas, leave the house, then call UGI at 800-276-2722 or 911 from outside.

Water

City water on some streets, private wells on others

West Lampeter Township says the Lancaster City Bureau of Water supplies public water in many areas of the township. Properties without it use wells, which the owner is responsible for, and the township doesn't regulate wells. The city system serves about 120,000 people through 49,000 taps in Lancaster and nine nearby municipalities, Pequea and West Lampeter among them. About 60% of its water comes from the Susquehanna River and 40% from the Conestoga.

City water billing questions go to 717-735-3425, and service problems to 717-291-4816.
