KUB Sewer Inspections may find private lateral problems that property owners must fix.

As part of its mandated Private Lateral Program (PLP), KUB notifies property owners when sewer improvement work finds that they have defective private laterals or improper connections to the sewer system. Such problems violate area plumbing codes, KUB Rules and Regulations, and federal regulations, and KUB must terminate water service at properties where owners do not comply with requirements to repair laterals.
