Working with federal authorities and cybersecurity experts, the City of Columbus continues its investigation and response to a July cybersecurity incident.
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.
For questions, information on the equipment & proper installation or to schedule an inspection call: 614-645-8276 weekdays, 7 a.m. - 6 p.m.
