Question:  Where does property owner Sewer Pipeline responsibility begin?

  • Identify the sewer clean out - Its location may vary along the lateral sewer pipeline, but typically is located near your property as shown above, or within 10 feet inside your property line.

  • Depending on how your home is situated relative to the sewer main, it may also be on the back side of your property.

  • Property owner sewer pipeline responsibility begins immediately after this sewer clear out and continues to the physical property.

Question:  Where does Property Owner Water Pipeline responsibility begin?

  • Identify the water meter - Its location may vary along the lateral water pipeline anywhere from the utility easement region shown above, to within feet of your physical property.

  • Depending on how your home is situated relative to the water main, the water meter may also be on the back side of your property.

  • Property owner water pipeline responsibility begins immediately after this water meter and continue to the physical property.

  • PLEASE NOTE:  During construction, it's possible crews will relocate meters closer to your property line.  This becomes particularly important if the water meter is situated too close to your physical property. 

Question:  Will the city replace their portion of the lateral pipeline?

  • Yes.  Unless immediate access is obstructed, crews will replace lateral pipeline from the sewer /water main to the sewer clear out/water meter.
