FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

  • Why has this project taken so long? 
    Unfortunately, the original contractor who was hired to perform construction in both Mon-E-Bak and Brown Road East failed to properly complete the sewer construction to acceptable standards per the plans and specifications. The Franklin County Board of Commissioners determined it was in the best interest of the public to complete the projects, with its own funds, while simultaneously continuing to work on resolution with the original contractor’s surety.
  • What costs will I have to connect to the sewer? 
    There is a cost that is negotiated with an approved contractor to abandon the septic or aerator system and connect to the public sewer. This cost is between the owner and the contractor. Franklin County charges a capacity fee, meter fee (if not on public water) and permit fee. Much of the capacity fee is turned over to the City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities as they are the receiver and ultimately treater of the wastewater. Currently, a typical residential capacity fee is $3,348. The meter fee is $250 and the permit/inspection fee is $85. Franklin County Public Health has a Home Sewerage Treatment System Abandonment Form and that fee is $35. Fees are subject to change.
