Lewisberry Plumbing Services
Call dispatch from a Lewisberry address and the dispatcher asks three things in order: your street and ZIP code, if you are on public sewer, and what the plumbing is doing. The middle question matters here, because ZIP 17339 stretches well beyond the small borough.
From there a plumber serving your area takes the job, and the notes below say who to ring about the sewer, the permit and the water.
Distance: Lewisberry is about 8.2 miles from dispatch, which is based in Camp Hill.
- Licensed and insured plumbers

Most of ZIP 17339 is outside the borough
Lewisberry is a borough in York County, with its office at 308 Market Street and a population of roughly five hundred. The ZIP code covers about 27 square miles, much of it in Fairview and Newberry Townships. Borough rules, borough sewer and the borough permit office apply to borough addresses; a house in either township is a different case, and their offices were not researched here.
So the first step is checking which municipality your tax bill names. Outside the borough, ask your township about permits before work begins.
Public sewer, a private system or a well: find out which you have
Sewage service in the borough comes from the Lewisberry Area Joint Authority, whose plant serves the borough and parts of Fairview and Newberry Townships and discharges to Bennett Run. For a sewer backup, call the borough office at (717) 938-3596 and choose the sewage option. A rule on who owns the lateral could not be found, so this page states none.
No public water system could be found for the borough on the sources checked, and the borough site says nothing about water service. Look at your bills. If no utility sends you a water bill, you may be on a private well; well work is not part of what dispatch handles. Homes outside the authority's area may use a private on-site system, which is not covered on this site either.
| Question | First call | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Sewer backup | Borough office, sewage option | (717) 938-3596 |
| Zoning and building permits | Borough office or Barry Isett and Associates | (717) 550-1131 |
| Water service | Whichever utility bills you, or none if on a well | See your bill |
Most of ZIP 17339 lies outside the borough, so a township address may answer to a different office.

Permits: borough office first, then the permit reviewer
Zoning and building permits go through the borough office, (717) 938-3596 with the permits option, or through Barry Isett and Associates at (717) 550-1131. The borough permit page lists only residential and commercial application forms, so it does not say whether a plumbing permit or a water heater permit is needed. Call before a heater swap or a repipe. A replacement is covered under heater replacement details, and repiping questions are under repiping and pipe repair.
Drains, fixtures and heaters in an older community
Plumbing repair services in Lewisberry mostly start small: a slow drain, a dripping faucet or a heater that has stopped heating. Slow drains are cleared from the inside, as drain clearing describes. Faucet and toilet trouble is usually a worn part, covered under faucet and toilet fixes. Plumbing installation, such as a new fixture or a replaced heater, follows the permit question above.
Plumbing repair in Lewisberry, PA is also affected by the borough's own electric utility, which handles electrical emergencies at the borough office number. If an electric water heater has tripped its breaker, check the panel before assuming the heater has failed.
