How would the sewer lateral program work?
The program is designed to assist property owners with the cost of repairing or replacing their sewer lateral line. These costs normally range anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 depending on the depth and length of the sewer lateral line and the significance of the repair or replacement required. The program is supported by a portion of the user fee that is collected as part of the monthly sewer bill. This is a break-even fund, with no tax or other fund support, and payments from the fund may be reduced due to the fund balance available. Homes and buildings not connected to the City of O’Fallon Sanitary Sewer District’s sewer mains are not covered by the program.
