LA City Bureau of Sanitation Is Reminding Stakeholders to Inspect Their Sewer Lines
The Department of Public Works, Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) requests that stakeholders inspect their lateral sewer and take corrective action as necessary to avoid emergency and costly repair. Aging laterals are susceptible to damage. Tree roots and debris can enter a lateral through cracks or loose joints and restrict sewage flow. Roots can ultimately cause collapse of the lateral over time. Please email questions to sewer.root@lacity.org.
