Brookeville homes and water

Brookeville was established in 1794 and is now an affluent residential community with a National Register historic district, near Triadelphia Reservoir on the Patuxent River, one of the reservoirs WSSC Water draws from. Many houses predate modern fixtures and have been updated in stages, so it's common to find faucets from several different decades in one home.

WSSC Water provides water and sewer service in the town. WSSC owns the service line from the main to the property line, and the homeowner owns the rest. WSSC says it removed all known lead pipes from its distribution system in the early 2000s, and it publishes a service line map and asks customers to help verify pipe material. Homes in the wider 20833 area beyond town limits may have different water arrangements, so check your bill if you're outside the town.

What affects the cost

• Parts for older or unusual faucets
• Wall-mounted faucets behind plaster or tile
• Original stops and supply lines that need replacing
• Exterior faucets in stone or brick walls
• Rebuild versus replacement

What happens when you call

The number on this page is a referral line, not a plumbing company. It connects you with an independent plumber who works in Brookeville and the Olney area. Describe the faucet, where the water appears and the age of the house. Plumbing permits and inspections go through WSSC Water, and most plumbing work has to be done by a plumber registered with WSSC Water. The Town has its own planning and zoning authority, so if faucet work is part of a larger project, check with the Town as well. A photo of the faucet and the valves beneath it helps the plumber bring the right washers, stems or cartridge. If your home sits outside town on its own well, say so, since sediment can change how quickly faucets wear.
