This report analyzes programs that would encourage residential property owners to maintain private sanitary sewer laterals in the City of Milwaukee. The authors recommend implementing a citywide insurance program to give long-term financial assistance to property owners. In addition, the authors recommend implementing a supplemental, short-term program to inspect laterals and provide financial assistance in targeted neighborhoods, based on reimbursements available from the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.
