Harrisburg’s water and sewer service comes from WSACC — the Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County — an independent public authority that also serves Concord, Kannapolis, and Mount Pleasant. WSACC plans and treats wastewater regionally through facilities like the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is currently in the middle of a Phase 3 expansion. 

 

What’s different in Harrisburg specifically is the permitting path: because Harrisburg is a town rather than an incorporated city, any construction or plumbing project first needs a zoning clearance permit from the Town of Harrisburg Planning and Zoning Department, and only after that does Cabarrus County Building Inspections issue the actual building and plumbing permit. It’s a two-step process that doesn’t apply the same way in neighboring Concord, where the city handles its own permitting directly. That distinction matters more than it sounds — a plumber who doesn’t know the sequence can hold up a new construction or remodel project for weeks waiting on the wrong department.

 

We’re based in Mint Hill, about 20 minutes from most of Harrisburg, close enough to schedule work without a multi-day wait.

MQ Plumbing is truly the best out there . Plumbers who came were professional and did a great job to replace the water heater . Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. They were polite, wore shoe covers to protect my floor, and explained the pricing upfront . Price was reasonable Highly recommended.

Max and his crew did an excellent job replacing my water heater. It was in tight quarters and they protected walls and flooring. The installation of the piping was nice and clean. They did a good job of cleaning up when they were finished.

Max and Peter at MQ Plumbing are the real deal! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and on time from start to finish. They quickly addressed the issue, explained everything clearly, and delivered top quality work at a very reasonable price. Honest, reliable, and skilled, hard to find service like this nowadays! They had my basement sump pump up and running in less than half an hour. I highly recommend MQ Plumbing.

We recently completed our basement project and hired MQ Plumbing for our full bathroom and whole-house water filtration system, and they did an outstanding job. The bathroom turned out beautiful with amazing attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. Our family is extremely happy with the final result. The whole-house Aquasana filtration system was also installed very neatly and professionally with a super clean and organized piping layout. Max was one of the best contractors we worked with during this project. He is professional, patient, and truly listens to every detail before starting the work. Unlike some contractors who become less responsive once the project begins, Max stayed responsive throughout and even came back twice after completion to make sure there were no leaks and that we were fully satisfied. You can clearly see that he takes pride in his work and cares about customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend MQ Plumbing and would definitely call Max again for any future plumbing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Harrisburg have its own water department?
No — water and sewer service comes from WSACC, the regional authority that also serves Concord and Kannapolis.
What's the permit process for a new home or addition in Harrisburg?
You'll need a zoning clearance from the Town of Harrisburg first, then a building and plumbing permit from Cabarrus County. We plan installs around that sequence.
Can you install a well pump if my property isn't on the WSACC system?
Yes, we install and service well pump systems for properties on private wells.
How long does a tankless water heater install typically take?
Most installs run half a day to a full day, depending on whether the gas line needs upsizing.
Do you work on plumbing for new construction, or only existing homes?
Both — we handle full rough-in and finish plumbing for new builds as well as repairs and upgrades in existing homes.
