Can the City of Columbus unilaterally impose its Sewage Facilities Plan on everyone else in the region?
No! All governmental jurisdictions and other stakeholders inside the Facilities Planning Area are vital participants in the Columbus Metropolitan Facilities Plan Update process. The City of Columbus will be sharing the draft Columbus Metropolitan Facilities Plan Update with everyone. Columbus will solicit input and comments from all other stakeholders in assessing the sewer and wastewater treatment needs for the FPA, and then provide those comments to Ohio EPA.
