§ 8.11

San Leandro Municipal Code (SLMC) Section 3-14-640 provides that the operation, maintenance, and repair of private sewer laterals are the responsibility of the property owner or User, as that term is defined in SLMC Section 3-14-200(bm). City upgrades to its public sewerage collection, disposal, and treatment system ("sewerage system") are ongoing. To that end, this Administrative Code provision defines a procedure for private sewer lateral reconnection whenever the City determines that a main line sewer must be abandoned and a new mainline sewer constructed in an alternate location. This Administrative Code Chapter describes the process by which the City may build, upon the cooperation of an affected property owner or User, a private sewer lateral from the sewerage system to the property line ("lower lateral") and upon completion, transfer responsibility for the new lower lateral to the property owner. This Administrative Code Chapter also describes the process by which the City will reimburse property owners for the costs to reconnect a new private sewer line (the "upper lateral") from the Premises to the lower lateral. This Administrative Code provision does not alter a property owner's or User's legal obligations as provided in San Leandro Municipal Code
