is a landlord responsible for water and sewer in richmond ca
In the Richmond Municipal Sewer District the property owner is responsible for the upper or lower sections of the lateral from the foundation to the street, alley or easement. Rain, high tides and/or groundwater can enter sanitary sewer laterals through cracks and gaps. This causes a large volume water to enter the Cityâs main sewer line, and exceeding the intended design capacity. This results in manholes overflowing, back-ups into homes and business and could eventually discharge (untreated) into the San Francisco Bay.
