Private Sewer, Water, Sump Upgrades - OPTIONAL

Consider upgrading your service pipes and connecting your sump pump to the City’s storm sewer system

Service Pipes

Now may be the time to upgrade your sanitary sewer and water service pipes. Homeowners are responsible for the sanitary sewer pipe from the main in the road to the house and the water service pipe from the water shut-off valve to the house. Upgrading private service pipes is not required as part of the project; however, the age and condition of the City-owned utilities suggests that your service pipes may be nearing the end of their useful life. To find more information on this topic, please see utility upgrade letter.

Sump Drain Connection

Sump drain pipes will be installed behind the new curbs where feasible. If you have a sump pump that discharges into the street or the boulevard, we encourage you to connect it to the new sump drain pipe after it is installed.
