South San Francisco Sewer Lateral Program is back…
September 14, 2011 · · 1 Comment

Calling all South San Francisco Home Owners!! The City of SSF has brought back their sewer lateral program back…

Let the City of South San Francisco help you replace that leaky old sewer lateral and help you pay for it! The City of South San Francisco’s Sewer Lateral Grant Program will cover 50% of the cost, up to $2,500, by following program requirements. The City is offering a program to help residents improve their sewer systems and in the process help reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I) into the sewer lines, which can improve the quality of the waters of the San Francisco Bay.

WHAT IS A SEWER LATERAL?

Within the City of South San Francisco, the building lateral is defined as the portion of the sewer system, beginning at the junction with the house plumbing system, usually located two (2) feet from the foundation wall of the building, and extending to and including the connection to the public sewer main. The building lateral is the private property of the property owner who is, therefore, responsible for all costs relating to the installation, connection, maintenance, repair, reconstruction, alteration, abandonment or removal of the building lateral.

These building laterals are often a significant source of infiltration and inflow of additional water, or “I & I”. The Sewer Lateral Replacement Grant Program, or “SLRGP”, is designed to help defray a portion of the costs when the property owner or their agent is required to replace the entire lateral including the connection to the main.
