Two Ordinances: Private Sewer Lateral & Water Conservation

The countdown continues! Only seven more months until the Private Sewer Lateral Ordinance and the Water Conservation Ordinance take effect on June 1, 2022.

1.     For properties built more than 15 years ago, privately-owned sewer lateral lines will need to be inspected prior to a sale of property by a NASSCO certified plumber with a Morgan Hill business license. If there are any damages to the line, they will need to be repaired before a Compliance Certificate can be granted. The City has established two grant opportunities to assist homeowners with the sewer line repair/replacement process.

2.     For all properties built before January 1, 1994, the plumbing fixtures need to be retrofit prior to a resale, if not already so, with high-efficiency ones that consume less water with each use. An inspection by a contractor with a Morgan Hill business license will check not only for toilets, but also showerheads and urinals. Upon passing, property owners will receive a Water Conservation Certificate.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and requests from local business owners, on May 19, 2021, the City Council approved moving forward with the first step in implementing the Downtown Lane Reduction Program and associated Place-Branding and Beautification effort.

Scan the above code for information or review the PDF summary linked here that includes details on lane reduction, traffic mitigation and safety, parklets, and beautification. Join us for the City Council meeting on December 15, 2021, at which time City staff will present the implementation plan for the Lane Reduction and Beautification Project.
