Sewer Lateral Insurance Program

The City of O’Fallon offers a Sewer Lateral Insurance Program that provides assistance for the repair of the sewer laterals that connect each residence to public sewers. The program covers all residents of the City of O’Fallon and is administered by O’Fallon Water and Sewer. The program is funded by residents through a $30.00 annual fee that is paid when you pay your property taxes.

*The increase is due to the increasing coverage to include root intrusion. More people were able to take advantage of the program that were previously denied due to not covering root intrusion.

**In 2020, the Sewer Lateral Insurance Program repaired 101 sewer laterals. Prior to October the repairs were completed by a contractor. In October, the in-house Sewer Lateral Repair Crew took over completing repairs for the program. The Crew repaired 27 of the 101 sewer laterals in 2020. The efforts have reduced the cost of repairs for the program. The average cost for the contractor was $5,000. The average cost for the in-house crew to perform the repairs is $2,900.
