The City of Alameda and East Bay Municipal Utility District will hold a public meeting to discuss potential changes to the City’s Private Sewer Lateral Ordinance (Alameda Municipal Code section 18-6). The ordinance identifies a property owner’s responsibilities for sewer lateral testing, repair, and replacement, especially at point of a sale or transfer. Repairing and/or replacing leaky laterals are an important requirement of the City’s obligations to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other regulatory agencies.
Members of the real estate community and the general public are invited. Representatives from East Bay Municipal Utility District, the City of Alameda’s Community Development Department and Public Works Department will be present. The current ordinance is available here at the City’s website.
