Sewer Lateral Lines

A sewer lateral is the underground pipe that connects a residence or business to the sewer line.
Sewer Lateral connections were originally recorded as points on the property line, but in 2017 the points were changed to lines instead to accommodate new software. The lateral line begins at the same location on the property line where the existing point was, and then it is drawn straight out to the nearest main. The lines were automatically drawn by the computer, so the actual path of the lateral line from the property line to the sewer main may differ. These will be manually corrected over time.

Data are updated by city staff as needed, and automatically copied to the Open Data Portal. The "Last Updated" date shown on our Open Data Portal refers to the last time the data schema was modified in the portal, or any changes were made to this description. We update our data through automated scripts which does not trigger the "last updated" date to change.
