Onondaga County

Plumbing in Fayetteville, on a Single Water Source

If your Fayetteville water changes character, that is worth reporting rather than explaining away, because this village is not on a blend. Fayetteville is one of only two Onondaga County villages listed on Lake Ontario alone, filtered and dosed with orthophosphate to keep lead and copper from leaching out of old pipe.

What happens after you send this

We read it and work out which pipe you are describing, which is often not the one people expect when they write in.
You get a call back on the number you give us, from a person, and we say whose half of the service line it looks like before anybody is dispatched.
If the honest answer is to run a cold tap for a quarter of an hour, or to call the Water Department first because the leak looks like theirs, that is what you get told on the call.

Required: your name, a phone number, an email address, the property address and its ZIP code. The message box and the questions above it are optional. The street line is asked for last because it is the hardest field to hand over, and it is asked for at all because a contractor is matched to a property rather than to a person: a ZIP code narrows it to a town, and a street line says which house, which water purveyor serves it and which side of the city line it sits on.

Why one source changes what a Fayetteville change means

Fayetteville is on one source rather than a blend. OCWA's source table gives the village as Lake Ontario, one of only two villages in the county listed that way, and that water is filtered and then treated with orthophosphate for corrosion control, the coating that keeps lead and copper out of the water in old pipe. Two things follow. Seasonal swings in taste, hardness and color that reach towns on mixed sources do not apply here in the same way, so a change in character is worth reporting rather than shrugging off. And corrosion control is protection, not repair: it works on the pipe you already have. The pipe you have is mostly unrecorded. Of 1,865 service lines under Village of Fayetteville, 1,353 are still unidentified, against 71 galvanized requiring replacement and a single confirmed lead line, while 20.7 percent of the village's housing was built before 1940. That combination argues for sequencing more than for urgency. Check the address on OCWA's service material map, and where it comes back unknown, send photographs of the pipe at the point it enters the building or take the short home visit. Identification belongs before a renovation rather than during one, because the walls are only open once.

OCWA's 2024 water source table lists the Village of Fayetteville as Lake Ontario, one of only two Onondaga County villages given Lake Ontario as a single source, the other being the Village of Manlius. OCWA's Lake Ontario water is filtered, and the report states that after treatment orthophosphate is added for corrosion control to prevent the leaching of lead and copper.

OCWA publishes a Service Material Inventory Map where a customer can enter an address and see the service line material OCWA holds on record for that property. Where the record is unknown, OCWA asks for color photographs of the water service pipe where it comes into the building and the portion up to the meter, submitted through an online form, and offers a five minute home visit by an OCWA employee to help identify the material, arranged on 315-455-7061 extension 3139.
