Oakwood Court sewer improvement project

The City of Columbia Sewer Utility is proposing to replace the privately maintained sewer system for homeowners on Oakwood Court. The Utility will construct a public sanitary sewer system to serve these customers.

These proposed improvements are part of the Utility’s Private Common Collector Elimination Project, started in 2008. Private common collectors are major sources of inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the sewer system. By replacing the outdated, private sewers and connecting these properties into the publicly maintained sewer system, the City can reduce the occurrence of backups and overflows,

The Utility has scheduled a public information meeting to discuss a proposed sewer improvement project on Oakwood Court. The meeting will be held Wednesday, July 19, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on-site at the driveway of 1705 Oakwood Court.

During the meeting, residents will have the opportunity to review preliminary plans, review diagram illustrations, ask questions, make comments and complete a public comment form.

Utilities staff may also be contacted via the Sewer Utility’s at 573.441.5530 or Kim.Ingham@CoMo.gov

Public comments and questions will also be accepted on BeHeardCoMo through Aug. 25.
