Our sewer lateral is in need of replacement, can we replace the lateral?

Yes, utilities (including roads) are considered essential functions and are given broad discretion to make their own determination about how they proceed with their projects.  Utilities requesting an encroachment permit must validate that they consider the work to be essential when filing the encroachment request.For existing permits, please fill out the form on the website for reactivation. Without a new or reactivated permit, the project may be shut down and penalties assessed.
