Lateral Grant Program

You May Qualify for a $2,500 Grant to Replace Your Lateral

The Lateral Grant replacement program was created to help the individual property owner manage the cost of replacing their ENTIRE sewer lateral (i.e. repairs and partial replacements are excluded from the grant). For 2024-25, the maximum grant amount is $2,500 or half the price of replacement, whichever is lower. Grants will be made on a first come, first served basis until the allocated funds for that year are dispersed.

The lateral is the sewer pipeline that connects a home or building to the District's sewer main. Many are damaged, which leads to sewer spills and overflows. Laterals are the responsibility of the homeowner or building owner.

To apply for a Grant follow these easy steps:

Apply First! Any work performed prior to this process will make the grant application null and void!

  1. Obtain written bids from three (3) licensed contractors (Lateral Grant Contractor List) to replace the lateral and submit them to the District along with your application.
  2. Download and fill out the Lateral Replacement Grant Program Application. Applications are also available at the District office.
  3. Wait to be contacted by the District. After you have completed the two steps listed above, you will be contacted by the District, and if your application is approved you will receive a letter of obligation and then may begin work.
