Sewer Lateral Repairs and Replacements

Sewer laterals are privately-owned sewer service lines that connect a property to the City’s main sewer. Sewer laterals transport wastewater from sanitary fixtures and drains in your building to the public sewer system. Under the Sewer Lateral Management Program, property owners can have a complete sewer lateral investigation completed. If a qualifying defect, such as a structural deficiency within the public portion of the sewer or a defect caused by roots from a City-owned tree, causes or threatens loss of sanitary sewer service, the City of Hamilton will complete repairs within 4 days.
