Public agencies across Marin are doing their part to decrease problems caused by inflow and infiltration. They are fixing pipelines; constructing storage tanks and or ponds to temporarily store high flows to treatment plants; expanding treatment plant capacity and implementing sewer lateral programs.

Public Agencies have invested $250 million in improving their sewer systems between 2001 and 2010

The massive improvements already underway in public sewer systems cannot solve the problem of inflow and infiltration alone. It’s now time to deal with private laterals.
