What shapes water heater trouble in New Albany
Among the newest housing we cover in Ohio

Columbus water
New Albany's water and sewer page sends billing questions and rusty-water reports to the Columbus Division of Water, which handles all water billing for the city. Columbus says it softens its water to about 7 grains per gallon on average, which it calls moderately hard.
Nine in ten homes owner-occupied
About 89% of New Albany homes are owner-occupied, and about 81% heat with gas. If you keep running out of hot water but the heater is working, the tank may simply be too small for your household. A larger tank or a tankless unit may be the real fix.
Safe steps for New Albany homes
- Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
- Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
- Gas smell? Don't touch switches. Leave the house, then call 911 and your gas utility (Columbia Gas: 1-800-344-4077).

Can a gas water heater be fixed in one visit?
Often. Thermocouples, igniters and many gas valves are common parts. If the tank itself leaks, replacement takes longer.
Who supplies New Albany's water?
The City of Columbus Division of Water, which handles all water billing, per the city's water and sewer page.
We keep running out of hot water. Is the heater broken?
Not always. It can be a failed element or dip tube, or the tank may simply be too small for the house. A plumber can tell which.
How cold does it get in New Albany?
NOAA's John Glenn Columbus airport station averages about 103 nights a year at or below freezing, with January lows near 22°F.
