State Representative, 32nd District
May a municipal sewer district repair or replace private
side sewers as part of a district-wide increased infiltration
and inflow (I/I) reduction program where (1) aging and
inadequate side sewers are the most significant contributor to
I/I in the district's entire system; (2) the purpose of the
program is to benefit the district and the public through
lower long-term capital and maintenance costs, not private
property owners; (3) repair or replacement would be subject to
a right of entry from the private property owner; and (4) the
program costs will be paid back through the district's
bimonthly sewer rates?
