Lower Lateral Overflow Rate

Measures the number of sewer overflows originating within SacSewer’s system per 100 miles of lower laterals in any calendar month, regardless of the volume or whether the sewage enters a waterway. It takes into consideration the fact that a larger system, similarly managed, will experience more overflows than a smaller one.

Target: 7.3

A target of 7.3 sewer overflows or lower per 100 miles of sewer lower lateral lines.
