This chapter sets forth the methods by which the city may require inspection and repair of private sewer laterals (both upper and lower). The city finds that many sewer service laterals in Eureka are old and deteriorated and, as a result, subject to failure as well as inflow and infiltration (I & I) from groundwater and stormwater runoff. Eliminating inflow and infiltration from Building Sewers is required by § 50.020 of this code and is necessary to ensure effective and efficient operation of the POTW and to comply with the terms and conditions of the city's current wastewater discharge permit.
