Sidewalks

The City builds and maintains sidewalks to make your trip safe, efficient and inviting. Walking is Olympia's most popular form of active recreation. Building new sidewalks to accommodate growth and maintaining our current sidewalks will help to keep Olympia walkable!

Sidewalk Repair and Maintenance

City code requires property owners to repair sidewalks which are adjacent to their property (OMC 12.36.010).

For more information, contact Code Enforcement staff at 360.753.8487.

  • FRAUDULENT UTILITY BILLING CALLS

    The City has heard from several residents who have received calls claiming to be from the City of Olympia Utilities Department. The calls include a pre-recorded phone-tree and hold music similar to the City’s actual phone system. The message claims that the resident’s water is about to be shut off and transfers to a live operator to make a payment.

    If you receive a call like this DO NOT pay the caller - call 360.753.8340 during normal business hours to confirm your billing details.
