Water and Sewer Service Line Replacement Incentive Program
Purpose
The purpose of the Water and Sewer Service Line Replacement Incentive Program is to
create a reasonable and cost effective policy encouraging property owners to replace
their private service lines that have been identified to be leaking.
Program
This program was created to encourage Fraser homeowners to replace private service
lines that have been identified to be leaking before the useful life of these lines
deteriorates to the point that the line terminally fails. Funding for this program will come
from the respective Enterprise Fund and may be terminated at anytime, at the discretion
of the Town.
Why Should I Replace My Service Line(s)?
Leaking water lines waste valuable resources and customer dollars producing water that
is never consumed. Leaking sanitary sewer lines can allow excessive groundwater
infiltration into the sewer system for unnecessary treatment, again costing utility
customers unnecessary expenses and potential rate increases for system upgrades.
What is a Private Service Line?
It is the portion of pipe (water or sewer) where it is tapped into the respective Town
owned main pipe in the public right -of -way and serves the adjoining dwelling.
Program Criteria
