Bureau of Environmental Services (. In January 2008, City Council passed an ordinance to authorize a comprehensive program to replace noncon- forming sanitary sewer connections with individual con- nections in conformance with applicable plumbing codes. Nonconforming sanitary sewers include private party-line sewers shared by two or more properties and sewers that cross neighboring private properties without the benefit of recorded easements. The Nonconforming Sewer Program was created in response to a sharp increase in the discovery of noncon- forming connections driven by property sales, redevelop- ment, infill development and the failure of aging private sewer connections. Property owners are frequently un- aware that their sanitary sewer connections are noncon- forming and may pose substantial legal, financial and public health risks. The Bureau of Environmental Services estimates that 10,000 or more properties are served by sanitary sewer connections that do not conform to appli- cable plumbing codes. Bringing a nonconforming sewer into compliance often requires a property owner to replace the nonconform- ing connection with an individual and direct connection to a public sanitary sewer or, in some cases, to acquire easements from adjacent property owners. The Noncon- forming Sewer Program provides customer assistance, planning and financial assistance to help property owners bring nonconforming connections into compliance. Until recently, the Bureaus of Environmental Services and Development Services have jointly implemented the Non- conforming Sewer program. Effective August 1, 2009, the program was consolidated within the Bureau of Environ- mental Services. Customers may contact the program’s staff by calling the Party Sewer Hotline at 000-000-0000.
