OERP Page 4 <br />NOTIFICATION OF AN SSO: Refers to the time at which the City becomes aware of an SSO event through <br />observation or notification by the public or other source. <br />NUISANCE - California Water Code section 13050, subdivision (m), defines nuisance as anything that meets <br />all of the following requirements: <br />a. Is injurious to health, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of <br />property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property. <br />b. Affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, <br />although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal. <br />c. Occurs during, or as a result of, the treatment or disposal of wastes. <br />PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE: Refers to maintenance activities intended to prevent failures of the <br />wastewater collection system facilities (e.g. cleaning, CCTV, inspection). <br />PRIVATE LATERAL(S) – The Private lateral begins at Building and extends to and including the wye or point <br />of connection with the public sewer lateral located at the property line, limit of right-of-way, or easement. <br />Property owners must maintain the property line cleanout and the pipe from the property line cleanout to the <br />building. <br /> <br />PRIVATE LATERAL SEWAGE DISCHARGES – Sewage discharges that are caused by blockages or other <br />problems within a privately owned lateral. Spills from private property are not reported to the regulatory <br />agency. <br />PRIVATE SEWER DISPOSAL SYSTEM – The pipelines and points of connection of a building drain to a <br />grease interceptor, an individual sewage disposal system (septic system), holding tank or other private point of <br />disposal unaffiliated with the public sewer comprises a private sewer disposal system. <br /> <br />PRIVATE SEWER FACILITIES – Sewer facilities that are privately constructed and not dedicated and <br />accepted as a Public Sewer Facility by the City. Private Sewer Facilities generally include sewer facilities within <br />a privately owned building, service laterals, private pump stations, grease interceptors, and all other facilities <br />located between the sewer customer and the connection to the collection line, including the integral wye fitting <br />that connects the lateral to a collection line. Sewer facilities intended for dedication to the City are Private <br />Sewer Facilities until such time as they are accepted by the City. <br /> <br />PUBLIC SEWER – A public sewer is the sewer collection system owned by the City lying within limits of public <br />streets, roads, easements, reserves, non-exclusive easements or other public rights of way and downstream of <br />the wye or cleanout on a Private lateral nearest to a sewer main. The location of a Private lateral within any <br />public street or right of way does not convert it to a public sewer owned by the City unless the City has taken <br />an affirmative action to accept ownership. Public sewer facilities owned and maintained by the City, including <br />facilities designed and constructed by the City and facilities that have been dedicated and accepted by the <br />City. Private Sewer Facilities constructed for dedication to the City do not become public sewers until they <br />have been accepted by the City. <br /> <br />PUBLIC SEWER FACILITIES OR PUBLIC SEWER SYSTEM – Sewer facilities owned and maintained by the <br />City, including facilities designed and constructed by the City and facilities that have been <br />dedicated and accepted by the City. Private Sewer Facilities constructed for dedication to the City do not <br />become Public Sewer Facilities until they have been accepted by the City. <br /> <br />ROOTS (R) Tree root (R) invasion presents an additional problem. If a mat of root hair forms in the sewer line <br />it slows the flow of wastewater and exacerbates the rate of accumulation of FOG materials. <br />6.2.A. - Page 98
