Many Wittmann properties are rural, so if you smell gas, leave and call 911 and your propane supplier, or 911 and your gas utility if you are on natural gas. For repairs and new piping after the tank or meter, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Wittmann.
What happens when you call
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who takes gas work in Wittmann. Say first whether the property runs on propane or utility gas, and where the tank or meter sits. Then describe the job: a leak, a new appliance, or a line to a shop, barn or outbuilding. Distances on rural properties shape the job more than anything else.
For repairs the plumber shuts off the supply, finds and fixes the leak, tests and relights. For new lines, sizing for the distance and load comes first, followed by installation, a pressure test and the County inspection.
Cost factors
- Propane or natural gas, and the regulator setup
- Run length to outbuildings and the pipe size that distance requires
- Trenching in open ground, and crossing driveways or fence lines
- Maricopa County permit and inspection
- Coordination with the propane supplier if tank work is involved
Wittmann conditions
Wittmann is a small rural agricultural community about 35 miles northwest of central Phoenix along US 60, originally called Nadaburg. Farming, livestock and dairies are part of its character, and properties tend to spread out. Housing is newer than you might expect, with a median build year of 2001 and about 8 percent built before 1980.
No official page naming a gas utility for Wittmann was found, and outlying homes may use propane or be all-electric. Your propane supplier's name will be on the tank or delivery invoice, and that is who you call along with 911.
Wittmann is unincorporated, so Maricopa County Planning and Development issues permits. New gas lines count as non-technical permits, like-for-like plumbing repairs are permitted online, and swapping an existing water heater no longer needs a County permit.
Rural gas lines face hazards town lots don't: equipment driving over buried lines, animals near exposed regulators and long trenches through open ground. Marking buried lines and protecting exposed piping are worth the extra effort.
Before the visit
- Know where the propane tank or gas meter is and how to shut it off
- Mark any buried lines you know about, including well and electric lines
- Keep livestock and pets away from the work area
- Have the appliance model or BTU rating ready for new lines
