02 / Questions
Questions from Liverpool homeowners
Whose water is it in Liverpool, and does that change who I call?
The Onondaga County Water Authority supplies the village. You are not calling OCWA for repairs on your own side of the pipe, though it is worth asking OCWA where that side begins. A local plumbing contractor handles it, and we help you reach one.
My house is very old. Where do I start?
Start with the symptom: low pressure, rusty water, a hot water tank that has run its course, a damp spot, or a dripping fixture. Choose the matching page and send the form. Ask the plumber to confirm what is in the walls before quoting.
Is the $100 off tied to one kind of job?
No. It comes off your first booked job, whichever of the five it is. Terms are on the offer section of our terms page.

04 / Whose pipe
Water and ownership in Liverpool
Water in Liverpool comes from the Onondaga County Water Authority, and the line between the Authority and you has a clear split. By one OCWA statement it owns the pipe from the main out to the shutoff valve at the property line, and from the outlet side of that valve to the meter or main shutoff inside the house, with every pipe and fixture past it, belongs to the homeowner. Another OCWA page says it owns only the meter and the remote reader, so ask OCWA where its side ends.
The housing explains why that homeowner stretch matters here. In the Village of Liverpool the median house was built in 1938, half of all units went up in 1939 or earlier, and nearly nine in ten predate 1980. State lead-line records list 196 galvanized lines requiring replacement out of 1,193, and 848 more with the material still unknown. Galvanized steel rusts from the inside, so the symptoms show up first as weak pressure and tinted water at the tap.
Across the five jobs below, that age profile points the same way: look at what is actually in the ground and behind the walls before choosing between a spot repair and a larger replacement.
The state inventory lists 1,193 lines in the Village of Liverpool, with 196 galvanized requiring replacement (16.4 percent), 2 lead and 848 still unknown.
