The Hi-Desert Water District Board of Directors and Public Advisory Committee met last night regarding ownership and responsibility of service laterals—the sewer pipes from the main line to a home.

Line blockage is strictly the responsibility of homeowners. The district plans to educate the public on prevention for blockage and breakage. Installation for laterals will allow more flexibility for property owners to assume responsibility.
