Frequently Asked Questions

How do I expunge my record?
To start the process and determine if your violation is eligible, please visit the State Courts Website (opens in a new tab) for more information.
Is Community Service allowed in lieu of paying a fine?
You must appear before the Judge and request to do community service. The Judge will determine if community service is an option and how much time will be allowed. All community service hours must be completed through the court-approved list of providers, which can be obtained from the court clerk.
Is traffic school an option?
Yes. However, not all violations will qualify. You must schedule a court appearance to determine if you are eligible. Please contact the court clerk for more information.
What is a Mandatory appearance?
Some charges require an appearance before the Judge (even if you just wish to plead guilty), due to the nature of the violation. The most common violations that require an appearance include Speeding in a School Zone, No Proof of Insurance, and driver's license violations. A court appearance is also required for all animal control and other city ordinance violations, as well as the majority of criminal charges. Please contact the court to determine if your appearance is required.

Public Works
Report a Street Light Outage
If anyone notices a street light that is not operating properly, whether it is not coming on, staying on, or just looking bad. Please email Rocky Mountain Power, click on Streetlight outages and follow the prompts. After all, lights that operate properly help keep the honest people honest.
Street Sweeping
Hopefully, those of you living in subdivisions that have curb and gutter have noticed the street sweeper coming around twice a year. This is to help keep our streets clean and looking nice. Not to mention, it helps with the water quality in the receiving streams. If for some reason, there is a vehicle parked along the curb at the time it is being swept, we ask that the homeowner sweep out that section of curb. Also, if you are having any type of dirt delivered to your property, it is against the law to have it placed in the street, in the gutter or on the sidewalk.
Sewer Information
Just a reminder! If the power goes out, please refrain from using the facilities as much as possible. Currently, there are still nine of the seventeen sewer lift stations that do not have an emergency power source. This proves to be a challenge when the power is out.
We are still having a problem with illegal connections! Sump pumps are being tied into the sewer, usually inside of the house. This creates a large amount of water to be pumped and treated, which is a big cost to all of the residents of Plain City. If a sump pump is required at your home, the proper place for the water to drain is into the curb. If there are any questions, please call the office.
We are also experiencing issues with the lift station pumps in some areas. Sometimes cleaning cloths, even the “disposable” ones, have been flushed down the toilet and have become caught in the pumps causing costly problems. Please do not flush anything other than toilet paper. If the sewer pump jams, this could mean a backup in your home. The Public Works Department would appreciate your cooperation, so that won’t happen.

Stormwater
What is Stormwater?
Stormwater is water from rain, snow, and sleet. It travels down the gutter or off hard surfaces into the storm drain system and/or open drain ditches. Stormwater starts out clean. It is very rarely treated, unlike sewer. It is estimated that one-half of the pollutants in our waterways come from stormwater.
Where does stormwater end up?
Stormwater flows directly into our rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes. In Plain City, it is a very short distance to these receiving waters. Stormwater collects everything in its path from the open land, roadways, parking lots, construction sites, driveways, gutters, storm drains, and ditches and it all ends up in our rivers, creeks, and lakes.
What can I put in the storm drain?
No chemicals of any kind should ever be put into the storm drain system, including gutters, catch basins, ditches, creeks, etc.! When someone does dispose of harmful items (gasoline, oil, antifreeze, paint products, pesticides, herbicides, etc.), they open themselves up to criminal prosecution, as well as a civil action obligating them for the cost of the cleanup. This will include all areas that it may affect downstream.
What about washing my car in the driveway?
When washing your vehicles or other equipment, use environmentally safe soaps. Keep the wash water and rinse water on the grass as much as possible. To reduce the impacts of runoff on urban streams, EPA expanded the Clean Water Act in 1987 to require municipalities to obtain permits for discharges of stormwater runoff. As a result, many communities have adopted regulations requiring developers to install stormwater management practices that reduce the rate and/or volume and remove pollutants from runoff generated on their development sites.
