01 / What you might see
Signs this fits a house in Manlius
Orange or brown tint when the cold tap first opens
Rust shed from steel pipe is a classic mark of a galvanized line.
A damp stripe in the lawn or at the foundation
Water coming from the line where it passes into the house shows as a wet patch.
Falling pressure through the whole house
When every tap weakens together, the line feeding the house is the first suspect.
No record of what the pipe is
Most village lines are listed as unknown, so a look at the pipe is the way to find out.
02 / Questions
Questions about this job here

Water Service Line Repair and Replacement in Manlius
The state inventory flags 51 service lines in the Village of Manlius as galvanized steel needing replacement. It lists no lead lines, 288 as non-lead, and 1,131 of the village's 1,470 as unknown. In other words, a Manlius homeowner is more likely to be dealing with old steel than lead, and the biggest gap is that most lines have never been identified.
OCWA's rules end its side at the property line shutoff valve, while its FAQ says it owns only the meter, so ask where yours starts. However long your stretch is, the Authority's customer rules let the meter sit just inside the cellar wall only where the street pipe is 150 feet or less, and otherwise may require a meter pit near the curb box.
Village homes were mostly built before 1980 (80.1 percent, median year 1968), and 10.5 percent date from 1939 or earlier. With owners in just under 60 percent of occupied homes, if you rent, the line is your landlord's decision. If you own, ask the contractor to confirm material, length and depth before pricing.

Where your pipe starts in Manlius
Boundary- Water supplier
- Onondaga County Water Authority
- Where your side starts
- Before hiring, ask OCWA which part of the Manlius service line it owns, since its own rules and FAQ differ.
- Syracuse city line
- Outside it (village of Manlius)
- On this job
- A homeowner permit never covers the water service outside the house, so the licensed Master Plumber who does the buried-line work takes out the county permit in their own name.
