About Columbia Water Columbia Water is the drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater utility owned and operated by the City of Columbia, SC. Staff maintain the City’s drinking water supply, collect and treat the City’s wastewater, design and oversee construction of many City construction projects, and monitor stormwater drainage and water quality throughout the City of Columbia.
About Easements A utility easement is a legal right granted to the City of Columbia, allowing Columbia Water and their employees and contractors to access, maintain, repair, and replace utilities on private property. Easements do not change the ownership of the land. However, the property owner’s use may be limited by provisions of the City’s Easement Encroachment Policy within the easement area. If access is required to a utility easement on your property, Columbia Water staff or its contractors may contact you in advance of scheduling major maintenance or repairs. Where do I go to get a copy of my plat? If your plat has been recorded, it will be located in your county’s Register of Deeds Office and may be copied for a fee. There is not a plat recorded for every deed, so some properties will not have a plat.
