City-owned recreation facilities on Condit Road. These facilities include the Outdoor Sports Center, Aquatics Center, and adjacent City-owned undeveloped property.

While these improvements or expansions may not occur for several years, it is essential for the City to plan in advance. In addition to the community meeting, please take the short survey and provide your input.

Are You Thinking of Selling a Property Soon?

If so, please note two ordinances that take effect on June 1, 2022. The Private Sewer Lateral Ordinance and the Water Conservation Ordinance will require two different inspections before selling a property.

1. For properties built more than 15 years ago, privately-owned sewer lateral lines will need to be inspected before 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 fixtures that consume less water. An inspection by a contractor with a Morgan Hill business license will check toilets, urinals, and showerheads. Upon passing, property owners will receive a Water Conservation Certificate.
