Three facts about the lot

Say this first

Say which road the house is on and whether the water bill comes from the county authority or a city. Say whether a sewer line or a septic tank serves the lot. Then give the wet room and the time water first showed. Renters go to the owner or manager first; the line serves owners and landlords.

Two gauges within a few miles

Two stations in NOAA's normals set sit a few miles from Sixes. The Holly Springs 1.0 NNE gauge adds up to 53.54 inches a year, and the Canton gauge adds up to 55.58. Both are driest in October, at 3.62 and 3.49. A gap of about two inches between them is a reminder that rain totals differ over short distances.

Offices that answer here

Sixes is unincorporated, so building questions for most addresses go to the Cherokee County Development Service Center at (770) 721-7810. Its service-permit page covers plumbing, electrical and HVAC trades and lists a $50 fee. It also lets an emergency job, a water heater failing overnight for one, start before the permit. A property inside a city's limits answers to that city instead; the county FAQ says to contact the city's own water or sewer department.

Water and sewer for unincorporated addresses is the Cherokee County Water and Sewerage Authority, 770-479-1813. Septic questions go to Environmental Health, 770-479-0444. The offices page lists them with the other four places.
