The City of Worthington manages and oversees public utilities including fire hydrants, sanitary sewers and storm sewers. Electric, gas and water are offered by the city as well, though residents may opt for utilities provided by private companies.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is a great way to make a difference in your community. Volunteers in Worthington help coordinate and set-up community events and programs, as well as assist in the upkeep of the city’s 16 parks.
Volunteering opportunities are available through the Worthington Community Center, Griswold Center and Parks Department.
Tax Information
Worthington levies an income tax of 2.5 percent on income earned within the city. Residents working outside Worthington pay income taxes to the community where they work.
