For decades, sewer laterals were largely out of sight and out of mind.
That's changing.
As Houston continues investing billions into wastewater infrastructure improvements, greater attention is being placed on the private sewer lines that connect commercial, multifamily, healthcare, and institutional properties to the City's system.
The reality is that many property owners don't know:
• The condition of their sewer lateral
• Whether infiltration or defects exist
• What their responsibilities may be under Houston's SSI program
Waiting until a notice arrives often limits your options.
The most proactive property owners are using this time to understand the requirements, evaluate risks, and develop a plan before compliance deadlines become urgent.
