CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: June 20, 2011 TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportation Department BY: Kenneth Joseph, City Engineer Engineering and Transportation Department SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Stephen L. Hollister City Manager PRESENTATION AND DIRECTION ON PRIVATE SEWER LATERAL. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION This report provides information pertaining to the presentation and discussion regarding Administrative Code Title 8 Chapter 11 concerning the financial responsibility of reconnecting sanitary sewer laterals. Staff recommends Option 1, retaining the existing procedure with improved financial assistance. BACKGROUND The City operates and maintains Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), on behalf of the ratepayers, serving the northern two-thirds of the City, with Oro Loma Sanitary District serving the remainder of the City. The POTW includes a network of sewer main pipelines located both within the public right of way and on private property. Many of the sewer main components are 50 to 100 years old and were installed before adjoining properties were subdivided and developed. As the system has aged, repair and replacement is required. In 1995, the City completed a comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Master Plan that identified sanitary sewer system deficiencies throughout the City. Using the information from the Master Plan, additional sewer camera television inspections and maintenance reports, the Engineering and Transportation Department compiled and then prioritized a list of sewer lines that require repair or replacement. Subsequently, an annual sewer repair and replacement program was established. As part of this 2009 program for replacing sewers, damaged pipelines were evaluated and scheduled for various forms of treatment. A pipeline located between Dutton Avenue and Broadmoor Boulevard was included as part of the 2009 repair and replacement project. Portions of this pipeline are located in the back and side yards parallel to Beverly and Breed Avenues. See attached Exhibit A. This segment required a high level of maintenance throughout the years.
