What are the procedures for a broken house lateral?
Top A. After it has been confirmed that a lateral is in fact broken the procedures for repair will depend on where the break is, if the break is on your side of the curb it can be repaired by a liscened plumber after a permit is pulled. If the break is in the street side of the curb the plumber must pull the permit and then get in contact with Sewer Maintenance to have City crews do all work that would be required from the Sewer main to the curb. The City would then charge the plumber for work to the main and the plumber charges you.
