General Manager 1) Reports a) Discuss amending the District Code to revise existing policy on private sewer laterals. Director of Engineering and Technical Services Jean -Marc Petit stated that the subject of private sewer laterals was first introduced at the Comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan (CWMP) workshop held June 16, 2016. He said it was staff's desire to obtain direction from the Board as to how to proceed with formulating the CWMP with respect to private sewer laterals. Mr. Petit reviewed the presentation included with the agenda materials and facilitated a lengthy discussion on private sewer laterals. Upon conclusion of the discussion, President Pilecki polled the Board Members as to their preferences relating to the options presented in Slide 6 of the presentation. CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT October 20, 2016 Board Meeting Minutes - Book 65 -Page 62 Member McGill preferred Option A (maintain current District Code (private sewer lateral is property owner's responsibility)). Member Williams preferred a less restrictive version of Option 8 (implement an ordinance requiring lateral inspection, repair and replacement upon sale of property and/or major renovation and/or change in water meter size), stating that he would be open to a private sewer lateral "lite" approach which would be nothing more than requiring inspections to get a handle on the condition of laterals and protect homebuyers. Member Causey agreed with Member Williams. Member Nejedly was comfortable with Option A and Option 1 (maintain existing District Code but consider including lateral replacement unit bid price in renovation projects for optional customer participation). President Pilecki agreed with Member Nejedly. He further suggested that staff speak to realtors to see if the subject of private sewer lateral inspections could be incorporated into optional evaluations. In summary, President Pilecki noted that since a majority of Board Members favored Option A, staff should proceed with developing the CWMP using the status quo. Sue Welsh, a ratepayer, addressed the Board and recommended that the public be educated with regard to their responsibility for sewer laterals. It was noted that the District regularly publishes such information in the Pipeline newsletter. BOARD ACTION: Directed staff to proceed in accordance with Option A.
