About the Plumbing Service Plans Endorsed by the City of Columbia
In January, 2014, the City of Columbia issued a request for proposals from companies offering options exterior water and sewer service line and interior plumbing coverage to our customers. HomeServe USA was selected as the company the City would endorse.
While the City maintains water mains and service lines up to the water meter and the water meter itself, property owners are responsible for service lines from the meter to the property’s plumbing. The City also maintains sewer lines up to the property boundary; sewer service lines on private property are the owner’s responsibility. The City of Columbia wants its customers to be prepared and have respected and qualified service in the case of emergency with both the exterior water and sewer lines.
In February, 2015, City water and sewer customers began receiving notifications about these repair plans. For more information about this program, see:
