The City of Florissant’s Residential Sewer Lateral Insurance Program covers the cost of repairing a defective residential sanitary sewer lateral in the City of Florissant.

Under this program, homeowners pay a $28.00 annual fee, which is included on the real estate property tax bills issued to homeowners each year.

The portion of the residential sewer lateral that is covered under this program runs from the main sewer line up to within five feet of the residential dwelling unit. The homeowner is responsible for the cost of repair or replacement of their sewer lateral inside their home and within five feet of the residential dwelling.

The program does not cover septic tank systems, private treatment systems or the cost to replace any trees, shrubs, flowers, sod, decks, concrete work (except for sidewalk and street work), retaining walls or out-buildings that may be damaged during repair of the sewer lateral. The program will cover only sanitary sewer laterals that connect to the main sewer system. The program is responsible for covering the repaired sewer lateral site with clean fill soil, including seeding the area.

This program does not apply to commercial, industrial or multi-family properties with more than six dwelling units.

What constitutes an emergency repair?

A lateral that is severely clogged and cabling the lateral by a St. Louis County licensed certified plumber or drain layer is unsuccessful is considered an emergency repair. The clog must be so severe that nothing can pass through the lateral. In a case where there are numerous emergency repairs pending, they are repaired in the order received. If there is only one emergency repair pending, it will be moved in front of all pending repairs but only after the paperwork has been approved by the City Engineer and the Street Department has contacted Missouri One Call in which all underground lines have been located. The locating of underground lines through Missouri One Call takes a minimum of 48 hours.

*** Please Note: Most municipalities, cities, and counties with sewer lateral programs limit reimbursements and expenses to the amount available in the Fund at any time. Some offer waiting lists and reimbursements out of the next year’s Fund revenue. Funds typically are on a first-come, first-served basis. You should always check on fund availability. Additionally, most municipalities will require proof of PAID real estate tax bills, city fees, taxes, including personal property taxes, and trash fees if applicable for eligibility to participate in any available programs.

Some offer waiting lists and reimbursements out of the next year’s Fund revenue. Funds typically are on a first-come, first-served basis. You should always check on fund availability. Additionally, most municipalities will require proof of PAID real estate tax bills, city fees, taxes, including personal property taxes, and trash fees if applicable for eligibility to participate in any available programs.

Eligibility

The owner of a single family home may recover one hundred percent (100%) of the authorized costs (not to exceed thirty-four hundred dollars, $3,400.00), in repairing defective sewer lateral service lines serving the property of the owner, in compliance with the City’s policy and procedures governing this program.

Each owner of a single family home shall be assessed twenty-eight dollars ($28.00) per year on their annual general tax levy bill. Owners of residential dwellings who are delinquent in paying any City of Frontenac taxes, fees or assessments will not be allowed to participate in the program until all taxes; fees, assessment and interest have been paid.

Commercial and industrial properties cannot participate in the program.

Reimbursements to homeowners will be based on a first come first served basis.

Procedure:

A sewer lateral service line is the sewer line, which extends three to five (3-5) feet from the outside of the building foundation wall or exterior wall to the sewer main in the street or sewer easement. It does not include a sewer line located under any part of any building. A sewer lateral service line may be located in a front, side, or rear yard.

If a property owner is experiencing a problem with their sewer lateral service line, the owner must first contact a St. Louis County licensed plumbing contractor or a St. Louis County licensed drainlayer contractor and have the line cabled or jetted. (The problem may be a clogged line, and not a defective sewer lateral service line.) The cost of cabling or jetting is not reimbursable by the City because this is a home maintenance expense. If the problem is not resolved by cabling or jetting of the line, the owner should contact the City of Frontenac Public Works Department at 994-9861, Monday through Friday, between the hours 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, to obtain an application and instructions for participation in the program.
