Residential Sewer Lateral Repair Program
St. Louis County · County program
Annual $28 fee; repairs can cost up to $15,000
St. Louis County runs a sewer lateral repair program that helps pay for repairs or replacement of broken residential sewer lines from the house to the sewer main. The official page says the program is funded by a homeowner fee and can cover repairs up to a stated cap.
Program details
How it works
St. Louis County explains that the residential sewer lateral is the pipe from a home’s foundation to the sewer main. When it breaks, repairs can be expensive, so the county operates a repair-assistance program for residential sewer laterals.
What the money covers
The program covers repair contracts on residential sewer laterals when the line breaks. The county page states that the program fee funds repairs for residential sewer laterals in unincorporated St. Louis County and in some municipalities.
Amounts and matching
The page says the homeowner fee is $28 per year. It also says sewer lateral repairs can cost up to $15,000, but the page excerpt does not specify the exact benefit cap or reimbursement formula.
How to apply
The page provides a program office address and indicates application forms can be submitted to the Residential Sewer Lateral Repair Program office.
Timing and deadlines
The official page does not state an application deadline.
Special notes
The program is linked to sewer infrastructure rather than direct home hardening, but it can reduce the risk of water intrusion and property damage from sewer failures.
