The Town of Pittsville draws water from two wells in the Pocomoke aquifer, and the town has been working with the state since 2019 to deal with excessive iron in its treated water. Iron leaves orange stains on sinks and toilets, settles in water heater tanks and can clog aerators and fixture cartridges.

Outside town limits, most homes around Pittsville run on a private well and septic. Wicomico County homes on wells often treat low pH and high iron, which wears on copper pipe and fittings, and the high water table on the Lower Shore puts extra strain on septic drain lines. We also handle drain cleaning Pittsville homes need when kitchen or main lines slow down.
