Planning to dig?
Anyone planning to dig in Ohio must call 811 or 1-800-362-2764 at least 48 hours before you dig. The Ohio Utilities Protection Service will notify your utility companies and member companies will mark their lines.
Calling before you dig is essential for safety and compliance with the law.
Water Main Breaks
When a water main breaks, the City dispatches a crew to locate the break, secure the area, and control traffic if needed. Crews isolate the damaged section by closing valves to stop water loss and limit outages, then excavate and repair or replace the failed pipe. After the repair, the main is slowly re-pressurized, checked for leaks, and flushed; if water quality could be affected, sampling and a boil advisory may be issued until results confirm safety. The area is then temporarily restored for safe travel and later permanently repaired, with the incident documented for maintenance history and follow-up. If you are aware of a main break, contact the main office at 614-491-1080.
