Via: Scott Carroll, General Manager
From: Elizabeth Pham, Management Assistant
Date: October 15, 2013
Subject: Sewer Lateral Assistance Program (SLAP) – Fiscal Year 2008 -2013 Analysis
Summary
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD) Board adopted its Sewer Lateral Assistance
Program (SLAP) as a financial incentive program to encourage residents to maintain
their l ateral sewer lines. Staff is providing the Board of Directors with a 5 -year analysis
on the scope of services that have been rendered during this period.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends t hat the Board of Directors receive and file this report.
Analysis
Without regular maintenance sewer lines can become blocked and cause material to
back up into the house and the environment. The District reimburses 50% of the
resident’s cost up to a maximum of $1,600 per residential parce l for services that may
include televising the lateral interior, cleaning the pipe, installing a clean out
attachment, and reconstruction costs.
The following graphs illustrate the services that have been reimbursed within the last

Environmental Review
The payment by the District of funds to assist residents in the repair and rehabilitation
of their private laterals does not meet the definition of a project under CEQA or
CMSD’s C EQA Guidelines.

will continue to monitor this program and inform the Board if additional funds are
needed.
