Plumbing In Windward, Alpharetta
Master-Planned Community
Mobil Land Development bought about 3,500 acres in 1978 for what became Windward. Local reporting puts the finished community at roughly 3,400 acres, with homes, offices, parks and trails.
Lake Windward
The centerpiece is a 200-acre lake with about 6.5 miles of shoreline, filled around 1980. Many Windward streets are named for it, including Lake Windward Drive.
Many Separate Neighborhoods
One local account counts 44 neighborhoods inside Windward, with a wide range of home styles, from lakeside houses to smaller villages.
Fulton County Water And Sewer
The City of Alpharetta does not run water and sewer service. Fulton County Public Works serves the city, so billing and main-line questions go to the county.

How Windward Is Laid Out
Windward sits in the northeast part of Alpharetta, close to GA-400 and centered on Windward Parkway. Real estate listings for the area use the 30005 ZIP code, though a shared ZIP code does not by itself mark where Alpharetta ends and a neighbor begins.
Some of the earliest sections, including Clipper Bay and The Bluffs, were laid out as the lake was being finished in the early 1980s. The Spinnakers, a village of about 55 homes, sits on a peninsula that reaches into the lake. Later sections followed over roughly the next two decades, and a commercial area grew up along the parkway.
That build-out history is the main reason we do not treat Windward as one uniform housing type. Two homes a few streets apart can come from different decades and different builders.
What Windward's Mixed Ages Mean For Plumbing
We do not assume a pipe material or a failure in any particular Windward section. Age is a reason to ask questions, not a diagnosis. Telling us when the house was built, and whether a water heater or supply lines have been replaced, helps a technician plan a visit.
Water heaters are a common example. Tank units commonly last somewhere around eight to twelve years, so in a community with homes from several eras, one house may be on its original unit while its neighbor replaced theirs recently.
Homes near the lake raise a different question. Damp ground or a wet crawl space can come from drainage and rainfall, or from a supply line leak. A leak detection visit helps sort out which it is before anyone digs.
If Your Water Heater Starts To Leak
Turn Off The Supply
Close the cold-water valve above the tank if you can reach it safely.
Cut Power Or Gas
Switch off the breaker for an electric unit, or set a gas unit to pilot or off, before anything else.
Protect The Floor
Move boxes and stored items away from the base of the tank and put down towels or a pan.
Call And Describe It

Service Details →Questions From Windward
Yes. Local reporting describes Windward as a community in Alpharetta, and it is built around Windward Parkway near GA-400. Fulton County, not the city, provides water and sewer service in the area.
Fulton County Public Works handles water and sewer service for Alpharetta addresses, so account and main-line questions start there. A plumber covers pipes inside your property and your own service line.
Not necessarily. Rainfall and drainage cause damp ground too. Check whether your water meter keeps moving with every fixture off, and call us to discuss leak detection if it does.
