Sewer Line questions
Who is responsible for sewer line repairs in the city?
Most of the major repair work and sewer line replacement is contracted out. Time permitting; the Utilities Division completes smaller sewer main repairs usually less than ten feet deep or twenty feet long. The Utilities Division is capable of making these repairs from start to finish. The Street Division does the final asphalt repair.
Where does my responsibility fall as a homeowner?
Responsibility for house laterals belongs to the property/homeowner. Section 15.32.100 “Maintenance Responsibility” of the City of Pleasanton Municipal Code states “the City shall maintain all trunk sewers. Maintenance of side sewers and service laterals shall be the responsibility of the property owner served by such sewers.”
The Sewer Division is available 24 hours a day to check sewer main lines and answer questions about where a problem is occurring. Contact the Customer Service Center at (925) 931-5500 during business hours or (925) 931-5100 after 3:30 p.m. and on weekends for assistance.
