Yes. A permit is required to repair the sewer lateral. A city engineer will inspect the lateral to validate that the work was performed according to code. If you need guidance as to policies or procedures please contact the Engineering and Construction Division at 650-780-7380.

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.

City of Atlanta employees do not have legal authority to dispatch crews onto private property to perform work without a legal document granting temporary or permanent access. This legal document is called an "easement." The easement allows City of Atlanta employees or contractors to perform maintenance on a publicly owned structure within the boundaries of the easement.

A point of entry located near the City property line that allows crews to break sewer lateral blockages.

Sometimes we can tell you approximately where your sewer lateral is located within the street right-of-way. If we cannot provide you with an approximate location, we will help you make contact with someone who can. This will usually require a contractor or sewer lateral video service to field locate your lateral and you can usually expect to pay a fee for this service. Call us at 781-7200

First, request servicing by city maintenance staff. Go to the Report Problems web page and submit a report or call 650-780-7464. If the problem recurs following the maintenance services, the sewer lateral may be damaged, call 650-780-7464 and request a tv/video inspection of the lateral between the cleanout and the main line.

If these problems occur and you are not using your household water outlets, there may be a problem in the public sewer main. Call (707) 258-6000 to request emergency service. If overflow is constant, the homeowner should remove the cap on the cleanout or overflow device (if present) located near the property line. The homeowner can use towels, sheets, rags, etc. to keep the sewage from spreading and damaging other parts of the house.

The current Comprehensive Plan provides guidance on the issue of annexation. Applicable excerpts from pages F154 and F155 of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan are as follows: Annexation policy is a potentially powerful means for achieving many of the goals embodied in the Plan's Vision.

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 contractor installing the sewer main generally installs the sewer service from the main to the property line.
