Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley Sewer Lateral
Point-of-Sale Requirements: The East Bay Municipal Utilities District (EBMUD) is now requiring
sewer lateral inspections prior to homes being sold in Oakland, Emeryville and
Piedmont. The inspections also are required for certain remodeling projects and
when a property owner changes the size of their water meter.
The EBMUD point-of-sale requirement
is in response to a court order from the the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA is requiring EBMUD repair damaged
sanitary sewer pipes to prevent untreated waste from being released into the
San Francisco Bay. EBMUD is in turn passing the responsibility to individual
property owners who will have to obtain a certificate from EBMUD showing their
sewer laterals are not damaged and are connected properly.
Please visit the EBMUD Website to
determine if a property is subject to the sewer lateral inspection requirements
and how to obtain a compliance certificate by clicking here.
