Private Sewer Lateral Grant Program Now Available

June 10, 2022, City News

The City of Sebastopol’s Sewer Lateral Grant Program provides financial assistance to property owners for the replacement of their private sewer lateral, which, due to their age or condition, are often a source of groundwater infiltration and surface water inflow (I&I) to the sewer collection system. Groundwater infiltration and inflow (I&I) to the sewer collection system increase the amount of wastewater processed at the City’s wastewater treatment facility, which increases costs. If eligible, property owners whose property is located in the city limit could receive up to $2,500 for replacement of their private sewer lateral, depending on funding availability at the time of application. For more information or questions, please send email to: citypw@cityofsebastopol.gov with the subject heading “PSL Program.”
