Upper laterals are collection to the building drain at the structure and do not cross into
the Public right of way or sewer easements’. The lower lateral is the portion of the sewer
that is installed in the Public right of way. Only contractors with a C 42 sewer license or
A contractor is permitted to work in the right of way.

Material types: Taps
The portion of the lower lateral in the right-of-way or public easement shall be installed at a 90-degree angle to
the sewer main with a wye-connection oriented in the direction of flow in the main. The wye-connection shall
be installed a minimum of 3 feet from a manhole, and 5 feet from a lamp-hole (sewer main clean-out).
The minimum horizontal distances between adjacent sewer lateral connections shall be:
a) Laterals on the same side of the street/sewer
10(ten) feet
b) Laterals on the opposiste side of the street/sewer 5 (five) feet

All other taps shall be performed by Tap-tite or Roto rooter.
Where possible, taps shall be installed above the springline of pipe at an angle not to exceed 45 degrees from
the horizontal.
Effort shall be made to install tap fitting and saddles with a 45 degree (wye) configuration to facilitate
continuous flow velocities into the main. Straight taps can cause hydraulic jump which can cause solids to
drop off and accumulate in the main.

How to Prevent Backup from City Main & Protect Your Home
Backwater Device
Drainage piping serving fixtures on a floor, where the floor level is located BELOW the elevation of the next
upstream manhole cover of the public/private sewer system, shall be protected from the backflow of sewage by
installing anapproved Backwater Valve. Section 710.1 UPC
☑ NOTE: Fixtures located on a floor, where the floor level is located ABOVE the next uphill manhole cover elevation shall
not discharge through a Backwater Valve.

EBMUD Private Sewer Lateral Ordinance
How to Prevent Backup from City Main & Protect Your Home
Things to Consider when
Replacing Sewer Laterals in
Multistory Dwellings
When owners of a multistory dwelling are
required to replace their private sewer lateral,
it may be determined that the lowest floor
is below the upstream manhole cover. This
condition can cause flooding of the building if
the sewer main has a blockage.
1
2
Current code requires that only fixtures below
the manhole cover drain through the backwater
valve. This prevents occupants on upper floors
from flooding the lower floor accidently. Since
this would require an expensive re-plumbing of
existing buildings, the city will require the use
of a sewer overflow device in addition to
a backwater valve to prevent both a backup
from the main City sewer and the accidental
flooding of the lower floor by owners unaware
that there is a blockage in the sewer. It will
also protect the building in case of blockages
in their own private sewer lateral

A sewer overflow device per the approved
materials list is required on ALL side sewer
connections and repairs and/or alternations
on existing side sewers.
The specific location of the sewer overflow
device shall be determined by the contractor
and the property owner such that the top
location of the overflow device is a minimum
of 6 inches below the lowest finished
floor elevation of the connected building.
