Private Lateral Replacement Program
Summary
Cracked, aging sewer pipes on private property are letting stormwater flood the wastewater plant — up to 40 million gallons a day on the worst days, causing overflows into the river. This program replaces laterals at qualifying pre-1969 homes for free, with about 200 homes qualifying but only 14 responses so far in the CRA districts.

Impact analysis
Up to $105,000 from the CRA, part of a broader push that's already cost the city $20 million.
Homeowners in older Central and Tamiami Trail neighborhoods get their sewer pipes replaced at no cost, plus cleaner rivers for everyone.
