Laguna Niguel Municipal Code Art. 14 House Laterals

(a) The applicant shall install house laterals and wye branch fittings of the size indicated on the plans and shall install the house laterals at the recommended location for each lot or building drain stub-out.

(b) The applicant shall place as many wye branch fittings for house laterals as may be designated on the plans. Each wye branch fitting shall have its barrel diameter equal to the diameter of the sanitary sewer main and the spur or branch diameter as indicated on the plans. The spur pipe of wye branch fittings shall be inclined at an angle of 45 degrees from the horizontal line. No wye branch shall be placed closer than five feet, on the downstream side, to the centerline of any structure. All wye branch fittings that are to be left unconnected shall be plugged with an approved disc stopper or plug. House laterals shall be joined to wye branch fittings at the sanitary sewer main as set forth in article 13 of this division by eighth bends. All eighth bends and quarter bends are a part of house lateral sewer line.

(c) Where possible, all house laterals shall run perpendicular to the sewer main from the main to the property line, and all house laterals shall be bedded the same as the sewer main into which they connect.

(d) All house laterals shall be plugged with an approved stopper in the socket of the last joint of each house lateral, which shall be securely sealed in place with sewer joint compound, as specified in article 6 of this division, so that it will withstand the internal pressure during the test for leakage, but also in such a manner that it may be removed without injury to the socket.

(Ord. No. 90-11, § 10, 3-6-90)

The applicant shall mark the location of each house lateral at its upper end in a manner acceptable to the department.
