Programs:

Backwater Prevention Assistance

If a property owner's basement floods during rain events, an application may be submitted to the Utility Maintenance Division to participate in a program to eliminate basement flooding caused by surcharging of the City's collection system. The City will conduct an investigation to determine if the installation of a backwater valve would correct the situation. The City may reimburse the owner up to $4,600.00 towards the cost of these plumbing changes. Application forms are available at the Administrative Office at 2100 Lagonda Avenue, Springfield, OH.

Septic System Elimination

This program is designed for those individuals within the City limits that may still have a private septic system that must hook into the City sewer system due to failure of said system. Application forms are available at the Administrative Office at 2100 Lagonda Avenue, Springfield, OH.

Private Sewer Lateral Repair

Upon a property owner discovering that a sewer lateral connecting his property to the City's sewer line has broken down in the portion located within the City's right-of-way, the owner may request that the City repair that portion at no charge to the property owner. Requests must be submitted in writing and must be accompanied by a certification issued from a person registered by the City to verify that the subject lateral is broken down within the City's right-of-way. Application forms are available at the Administrative Office at 2100 Lagonda Avenue, Springfield, OH.
