Site work for a water / sewer project in Columbus, Ohio. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Water and Sewer Line Protection Program. Scope of Work The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is seeking proposals from qualified providers for an emergency water service and lateral sewer line repair program for all customers served. DPU provides service to approximately 300,000 metered customers, with a small number of these customers receiving either only water or only sewer service. The City of Columbus' publicly-owned water and sanitary sewer infrastructure is more than 100 years old in some areas. In addition, many privately-owned water service lines and sewer laterals are several decades old and at an increased risk of failure. Property owners are responsible for maintenance and repair of privately-owned service lines. The private portion of water service lines extends from the curb stop to the building inlet, and the private portion of sewer laterals extends from the home to the publicly-owned sewer main. The program will provide property owners located within our service area the opportunity to voluntarily purchase coverage for repair or replacement of privately-owned water service lines and sewer laterals. DPU intends to enter into a contract with the selected entity for a one-year term that is renewable annually at the City's option for up to an additional 4 years, commencing by approximately December 1, 2024.
