Sewer charges are based on water usage and assumes all water is discharged to the city's sewer system. Those using large amounts of water not entering the sewer system (examples: outdoor watering, irrigation systems) could save by installing an auxiliary meter system.
The system must be purchased, installed and maintained privately. Only specific meters will be approved for usage & must be inspected by the city to set up the account. A $2 service charge is added for auxiliary meters. Please refer to our Auxiliary Metering Systems brochure(PDF, 667KB) for updated requirements effective 1/1/26: all appointments scheduled on or after this date must meet current requirements.
Call: 614-645-8276 weekdays, 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. for questions or to schedule an inspection of a new installation or repairs to your auxiliary meter system.
