Township or City? Why It Matters for Plumbing
Chester Township wraps around the west and north sides of the city and shares the 19013 ZIP code, so many people think they live in Chester.
A Separate Municipality, Same ZIP
The township has its own government and code office. Plumbing questions, permits and local rules go through the township, even though your mailing address may say Chester.
Sewers Split by Street
DELCORA owns sewers in parts of the township, and other streets may be served differently. A camera and a quick call tell us which side of the line your problem is on.
Homes Newer Than the City's Rowhomes
Most township homes are post war singles and twins, a bit newer than the rowhomes in the city. Newer age changes the pipe materials, the yard layouts and the repairs we expect.
Post War Pipes Under Township Yards
Homes from the 1950s and 1960s are common here, and their plumbing has a typical pattern. Cast iron and clay still show up alongside copper and some galvanized supply.
Singles, Twins and a Few Rowhome Blocks
- Brick and siding exteriors
- Cast iron stacks behind walls
- Clay laterals to the street
- A cleanout near the foundation
- Finished basements over old pipes
Lines Under Lawns and Driveways
- Water service line from the curb stop
- Sewer lateral under the yard
- Galvanized pipe near the meter
- Roots reaching old joints
- Soft spots after heavy rain
Basements and Utility Rooms
- Sump pits in low corners
- Floor drains that back up
- A PRV that needs a pressure check
- Water heaters on aging pads
- Hose bibs that drip inside walls

Township Rules and Tips to Know
Township homeowners deal with a few extra steps. These apply to most township addresses.
- Find your sewer provider. Some streets are served by DELCORA and others may be served differently, so confirm which applies to you before calling for street side help and save time on repairs.
- Watch for water letters. Chester Water Authority notices apply here too, so look at the pipe where it enters the basement and send us a photo if you receive a service line letter.
- Ask the township about permits. Permits go through the Chester Township code office, not the City of Chester, so ask what applies to your sewer, water line or water heater job.
- Call PA811 before digging. Any dig for a fence, deck or new line needs a PA811 call first, so utilities can mark buried lines on your property.
- Ask about licensing. Pennsylvania sets plumbing licensing locally, so a licensed plumber Chester Township PA owners hire should explain what the township requires before any permitted work begins.
- Check your water pressure. High pressure strains old pipes and fixtures, so have the PRV tested if you hear banging pipes or see drips. A small drip is also a reason for leak repair Chester Township PA owners should not put off.
