The houses in town

The Holly Springs home page lists City Hall at 770-345-5536 and a mailing address of P.O. Box 990, Holly Springs, GA 30142, with shortcuts to a Citizen Request Center and to permits and applications. Its other pages did not load when read, so no city figures on housing, water or sewer are quoted here. Cherokee County's plan places Holly Springs in its Urban Core character area.

Three plain answers

  1. 1

    Where does a Holly Springs resident phone about water or sewer?

    The city's home page gives City Hall at 770-345-5536 and a Citizen Request Center link. It names no separate water or sewer line in what loaded, so City Hall is the number to try. For septic questions, Cherokee County lists Environmental Health at 770-479-0444.

  2. 2

    Does Holly Springs handle building paperwork itself?

    Its home page carries a permits and applications link, but the pages behind it did not load, so no rule or fee is quoted here. City Hall can say whether a repair needs paperwork. The county's Development Service Center at (770) 721-7810 covers the unincorporated county.

  3. 3

    Who can call about a wet house in Holly Springs?

    If you own a Holly Springs house with water in it, or let one out, call (678) 899-6694. Renters in Holly Springs leave the first move to the landlord or property manager. Have the street address, the wet room, a rough start time and whether the water looks clean or came up from a drain.

What to say after the street address

Name the wet room, say when the water showed up and whether it came from a pipe, a drain or the roof. A few photographs from the doorway help. Call (678) 899-6694 with the notes if you own the house or rent it out; if you rent, begin with the person who manages the building.

The rest of the line

Ball Ground's notes cover the listing town, Nelson's notes cover a city in two counties, and Waleska's notes cover a water system that buys all of its water. The four-town overview puts them side by side.

Gather the street address, the room that is wet and roughly when it started. A renter's news goes first to the person who manages the building, not to the line. The line covers Ball Ground, Nelson, Waleska and Holly Springs. When you are ready, call (678) 899-6694.
