Toilet Repair in Holtwood, PA
About 57% of homes in Holtwood were built before 1990 and 90% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Holtwood, 90% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. At 57% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Holtwood’s housing suggests
57% of Holtwood’s 1,268 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
