Lateral Piping Incentive Program (preventative): The existing porous lateral piping used throughout much of the city is approaching an age where cracks and pipe defects allow water from those pipes to leech into the ground. When this coincides with heavy rain events, the saturated ground has less capacity to absorb the rainfall, resulting in standing water and potential flooding.
