SAN LEANDRO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TITLE 8 ENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION Chapter 11 Financing of Sewer Lateral Connections to City Sewerage System $8.11.100 GENERAL. 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 constricted 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 offer property owners or Users an optional and completely voluntary private sewer line financing program to fund the costs of constructing a new private sewer line (the "upper lateral") 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 Section 3-14-640. $8.11.200 NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT. Whenever the City undertakes the abandonment of a section of the sewerage system, affected property owners and Users will be given the following notice: (a) That the section of the sewerage system in question will be abandoned not sooner than 365 days from the date of the notice; (b) The location of an existing alternate sewer main or work to be performed by the City to constrict a new sewer main to serve the property; (c) The impacts to the User or property owner's private sewer lateral currently connected to the section scheduled for abandonment; (d) What actions the property owner or User must take to connect to the sewerage system; and (e) The optional and voluntary private sewer lateral financing program that the City will make available to all affected property owners pursuant to this Administrative Code. 0.11.300 LOWER SEWER LATERAL CONSTRUCTION RESPONSIBILITY TRANSFER. A property owner or User shall have 45 days from the date of the notice in §8.11.200 to: Department Responsible for Revision: Engineering & Transportation Chapter 8.11 12/20/2010 Page 1
