Utilities

Columbus water and Columbia Gas

The City of Hilliard points residents to the City of Columbus for water billing and lists Columbia Gas of Ohio among its utilities. Columbus says it softens its water to an average of about 120 ppm, or roughly 7 grains per gallon, which it calls moderately hard.

Apartments

Many homes in larger buildings

About 18% of Hilliard homes are in buildings with five or more units, and about 31% of households rent. In apartments and condos, the heater may sit in a closet next to living space, so a leak spreads fast. Renters should call the landlord first, then shut the cold supply valve if water is spreading.

Newer homes

A fast-growing city

About 43% of Hilliard homes were built in 2000 or later. Heaters installed in the 2000s are past the age when many tanks fail, while those from the last few years may still be under warranty. About 26% of homes heat with electricity, so element and thermostat repairs are common here.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Hilliard homes

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  2. Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
  3. Gas smell? Hilliard lists Columbia Gas of Ohio. Leave the house, then call 911 and Columbia Gas at 1-800-344-4077 from outside.
