Plumbing Help in Ozark, Alabama
Ozark homeowners can call (334) 214-1303 to be connected with a plumber for leaks, clogs, water heaters, and sewer problems. Here's the local background worth knowing first.
Ozark Utilities Board
Water and sanitary sewer service in Ozark comes from the Utilities Board. The Board describes serving about 6,706 water users and 4,933 sewer users, and it pumps its water from 8 deep wells (City of Ozark: Utilities Board). Contact the Board for outages, meter problems, and account issues. A plumber handles everything on the house side of the meter.
Sewer or septic in Ozark
The Board reports fewer sewer users than water users, so not every water customer is connected to city sewer. Homes without a sewer connection typically rely on septic systems. If your drains are backing up, knowing which you have changes who you call. Septic problems often need a septic contractor; a blockage in the line before the tank is a plumber's job.
Ozark has a connection requirement: under a city ordinance quoted in the Utilities Board's rate resolution, owners of properties abutting a public sewer within 150 feet of the property line must connect to it after official notice, at the owner's expense, and pay connection and tapping fees to the Board (Ozark Utilities Board: Resolution 05-27-08 (rates and sewer connection rule)). If you've received a notice, a plumber can quote the private-side connection. See sewer line repair.
