Getting to know Columbus
The Hap Cremean plant treats water from Hoover Reservoir on Big Walnut Creek. The Parsons Avenue plant treats groundwater from a wellfield. The city treats wastewater at its Jackson Pike and Southerly plants.
Blueprint Columbus uses green infrastructure to reduce sewer overflows. Electrical, HVAC and plumbing contractors must hold an Ohio state license before getting a city license. Brick homes from the 1800s line the streets of German Village.
Summers are warm and humid, and winters bring regular freezes. Spring storms can bring heavy rain and basement flooding.

Questions about Columbus
Who supplies water in Columbus?
Columbus treats water from the Scioto River and Big Walnut Creek reservoirs, plus a wellfield, at three plants. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from AEP Ohio and natural gas from Columbia Gas of Ohio. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Columbus need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by Building and Zoning Services, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Ohio licenses commercial plumbing contractors at the state level, and cities license residential plumbers, so ask about both. Ohio licenses commercial electrical contractors at the state level, and many cities require that license for home work too. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
If you are not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We will tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.
