Georgetown is an unusual combination: town water almost everywhere, municipal sewer nowhere. The Water Department serves 2,841 connections from three shallow wells only 40 to 60 feet deep in the Parker River aquifer, and it deliberately raises the pH with potassium hydroxide specifically to protect "the copper water service and plumbing system in your home" as well as the ductile and cast iron mains. Water is moderately hard at 87.3 ppm as calcium carbonate, roughly five grains per gallon. Every in-ground irrigation system has to be registered with the Water Department, new installations need a permit with the design and capacity submitted, and a backflow device test is a flat $55 on the town's fee schedule.

The Georgetown Water Department raises pH at each of the three wells and again before distribution for corrosion control, stating that "the elevated pH helps to control corrosion not only in the ductile iron and cast iron water mains but also in the copper water service and plumbing system in your home."
The Water Department requires all in-ground irrigation systems to be registered, and "All future installations will require a permit. System design and capacity must be included in the permit application." The published fee structure adopted 3/10/2020 lists an annual sprinkler fee of $75, a backflow device test at $55, a meter fee of $300, and a $5,000 connection fee for new construction.
Water-ban enforcement escalates: first offence is a verbal or written warning, second is a $150 fine, third is $400, and the fourth results in water service shut off.
14.5% of housing in Georgetown was built before 1940 (472 of 3,257 units, ACS 2019-2023 5-year).
