Application for Upper Lateral Program
The
application for the upper lateral program is
called the "Pre-evaluation Questionnaire".
It is used to determine whether you are
entitled to be reimbursed for work on your
upper lateral, which is the sewer line from
your house to the edge of your property.
The first
question refers to the date when sewer
service to your house was installed. Sewer
service was generally installed when the
first house was built on your property.
The second
question is about recent problems you
encountered with your sewer. Plumbers bills
or photos should be attached as proof.
For the
third question, place a check on the left
and indicate the number of occurrences on
the right. The number of occurrences for the
three causes listed should add up to the
answer of question two.
Read the
Program Acknowledgment, fill in your
address, sign and mail to VSFCD. We will
then inspect your lateral and determine the
amount of reimbursement you are entitled to.
