A sewer lateral is the pipe that carries the wastewater from the house to the sanitary sewer main line in the street. Every building receiving sewer service from Redwood City has at least one sewer lateral.

The service lateral is constructed by private owners for private use of their property. It is a private sewer located on private property not serving the community at large and for which the City does not have an executed and recorded easement for the purpose of providing City maintenance. The service lateral is an extension of the house building sewer that connects the building to the City sewer.

If the sewer problem is found to be in the upper sewer lateral (between the building and cleanout at the property line) the property owner can hire a contractor to make repairs or, if equipped, can make repairs themselves. Contractors are listed in the yellow pages of the phone book under "Plumbing Drain & Sewer Cleaning" or "Sewer Contractors". If you plan to hire a contractor, we recommend getting estimates from more than one company.

Standard lateral impact tests have not yet been developed for racing, but they are in the works. Computer simulations indicate that Isaac® will reduce head loads caused by lateral impacts by 50%. This makes sense. Isaac® should offer some lateral support because one shock will be in tension and the other in compression. Tether-based "head restraints" only work in tension — you can't push on a rope.

The City has adopted a policy to repair broken sewer laterals in City rights-of-ways at no charge to the property owner. The intent of the policy was to reduce the financial burden of the typical property owner because of the expense of excavating in City streets and to minimize the potential hazards to our citizens from possible cave-ins. The property owner is required to hire a company licensed with the City to confirm the lateral is broken and precisely where the break is.

The “public” side (also called the lower lateral) of the sewer lateral is the city’s responsibility.

This includes both the portion on private property and the portion located beneath the sidewalk and street.

This disease can affect discus, other cichlids, and many saltwater fish. The fish develops holes in it's head and sometimes along its lateral line. Causes are unclear but as in any disease, stress and poor water quality likely play a role. The Manual of Fish Health states that HLLE is probably due to nutritional deficiency, especially of vitamin C. Fish in planted tanks rarely get HLLE, which supports the nutrition idea, since fish can nibble on the plants and obtain extra nutrition.
