1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: MICHAEL OSBORN, CITY ENGINEER
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: SEWER LATERAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2023
ISSUE
Who is responsible for the maintenance and repair of sanitary sewer laterals within the City of Mendota?
BACKGROUND
Occasionally, City staff will receive a request from a property owner to assist with the maintenance or repair of their property’s sanitary sewer lateral. Sanitary sewer lateral repairs could include a broken pipe and maintenance could include removal of a blockage due to tree root intrusion or other foreign objects.
The City’s current policy is that ownership, maintenance, and repairs to the sanitary sewer laterals are the sole responsibility of the owner of the property served by that pipe.
ANALYSIS
Per Chapter 13.08 – Sewer Service System of the Mendota Municipal Code “‘public sewer’ means and includes any sewer other than a house connection sewer,” and a “‘house connection sewer’ means and includes that part of the horizontal piping beginning twelve (12) inches from the exterior of any building and extending to and including its connection with the public sewer.” By this definition, sewer laterals (“house connections”) are not part of the “public sewer,” which shows sewer laterals are private and that the property owner bears the responsibility for maintaining, repairing, or replacing the pipe.
It does not appear that any State codes (i.e., Public Utilities Code, Health & Safety Code, etc.) further define the public/private delineation of house connections, rather it is left to the municipalities and districts to determine. Some cities will use the curb line as the delineation of public versus private responsibility; some use the right-of-way line; while others may offer reimbursement for the full length from the public main to the building. The City of Clovis explicitly puts the ownership, maintenance, and repairs of the entire lateral on the property owner (City of Clovis Municipal Code Chapter 6.4.06).
It should be noted that repairs or replacement do require a connection permit from the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City under current policy related to sanitary sewer laterals. 2 RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that no changes occur to the current Municipal Code or policy related to sanitary sewer laterals.
