Neely Farm in Brief
History and facts as reported in a 2020 article on the Living in Peachtree Corners site.
The community sits along the Chattahoochee River, with rolling hills and mature trees. A developer named Marchman bought 325 acres from the descendants of Frank Neely and began turning the land from rural to suburban in 1984. By 1994 the subdivision was largely built out, and eight builders worked on it at the start.

High Water Bill? A Meter Check Anyone Can Do
General guidance for any house on a county meter.
- Stop all water use. Shut off faucets, the dishwasher, the washer and the ice maker.
- Find the meter box. It is in the front yard under a metal cover.
- Watch the dial or low-flow indicator. If it moves while nothing runs, water is escaping somewhere after the meter.
- Test the toilets. A few drops of food coloring in each tank, left for fifteen minutes, show a silent flapper leak.
- Call (770) 214-4545 with what you saw so the plumber starts in the right place.
Lines on the house side of the meter belong to the owner. The meter itself belongs to Gwinnett County.
What We Could Not Confirm About Neely Farm
Gaps stay visible instead of being filled with guesses.
- Current home count. 334 is the 2020 figure, so recent changes are unknown.
- Which homes are original and which were rebuilt. Eight builders and many owners mean no single rule applies.
- What the pipes are made of. That differs from house to house, and we find out on site.
- Association rules for repairs. We have not seen the current covenants.

Reading Your Water Bill for Clues
General guidance for any household.
Pull out the last six bills and compare the usage figures, not just the dollar amounts. A steady pattern with a seasonal bump for irrigation is normal. A jump that stays high after the weather changes, with no new guests, pool or appliances, is the sign worth chasing.
Write the date you noticed it, then run the meter test above. If the meter moves with everything off, call. If it does not move, the extra use is happening on the inside of your routine, such as a running toilet that only flushes itself at night, and the toilet dye test usually finds it.
