Utility Division

The City's Utility Division is dedicated to providing quality and professional research, investigation and repair of the sanitary sewer system, storm water system and potable water systems.

The Sanitary Sewer System conveys all potable water from homes and businesses to the Dublin Road plant for treatment prior to being discharged into the Scioto River. The Sanitary Sewer System is comprised of approximately 143 miles of varying sized pipe and nearly 3,300 manholes. Much of this infrastructure is located in the rear easements which require the Utility Division personnel to have access to back yards in order to perform maintenance and repair.

The Storm Sewer System conveys rain water from roof tops and roadways directly to streams that discharge into the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, without treatment. The Storm Sewer System consists of approximately 98 miles of varying size pipe, 2,100 manholes and 3,300 catch basins

The Water Distribution System conveys potable water provided by the City of Columbus from the Dublin Road and Morse Road plants to the homes and businesses of Upper Arlington. The Water Distribution System consists of approximately 148 miles of varying size waterline, 1,959 fire hydrants, and a 750,000 gallon elevated water tower located at Zollinger Road.
