To replace your sewer lateral and for best pricing, call or email the City of Pacifica, Waste Water Collection Department, for their approved plumbers (its a small list). Once the fully permitted sewer lateral application and work is completed, you will receive a 20 year certification. The website includes information and brochures.
Pacifica Tribune/Jane Northrop, Staff, 1/8/12. "Problem-riddled sewer system gets overhaul."
Residential sewer replacement |
Roots, not your ancestors |
Main line sewer replacement |
.... The worst areas are
lower Linda Mar, Fairway Park, Vallemar and Pedro Point. Workers see
many contributing factors. Offset joints in a lateral is a good example.
On Bower Road in 2011, workers replaced the whole main line and all the
laterals. Now the flow is consistent. The worst neighborhoods will be
tackled first. The city is replacing sewer lines in Lower Linda Mar.
Some of them are underwater. They are ready to go to bid to replace the main line from Anza Drive to Arguello Boulevard and for many of the laterals. "We'll see a lot of improvement in five years," Martinez said.
.... Gromm identified the
main challenge to the plant is the collection system. The existing
pipes are being replaced with pipes that have a life expectancy of 100
years. "The plant sees an average of 3.1 million gallons of
wastewater per day. In winter, the flow rate can reach 25 million
gallons per day. It was built for a capacity of only 20 million gallons
per day capacity. The pipes in the ground are degrading. That's why the
collection system is being upgraded. When we reduce winter flow, that
resolve the capacity issues at the plant. In winter, the pipes are
taking in ground water," Gromm said." Read article.
