Sunset Drive Sewer Improvement

The City of Columbia Sewer Utility appreciates everyone who provided input regarding the proposed sewer improvement project near Sunset Drive, Prospect Street, and Crestland Avenue. If approved, the City of Columbia will construct a public sanitary sewer to serve these customers.

These proposed improvements are part of the Private Common Collector Elimination program, 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 By replacing the outdated, private sewers and connecting these properties into the publicly maintained sewer, the City can reduce the occurrence of backups and overflows.
