Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />DATE: May 27, 2025 ITEM: 8.a. <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Review Sewer Backup Policy <br />Background <br />Since 2011, the City of Roseville has had a Residential Sanitary Sewer Backup Cleanup Assistance Policy. <br />The policy allows residential properties that have had a backup in the City main to get some assistance from <br />the City. Staff reviewed the policy with our attorneys since it has been 14 years since the last time it was <br />updated. Most changes to the policy are minor updates. The two major changes are related to the costs. <br />Since costs have increased, staff is recommending the maximum assistance be changed from $5,000 to <br />$7,500 per occurrence and the reimbursement for backflow preventers increases from $300 to $500. <br />Staff is requesting feedback on the policy. Some items to possibly consider: <br />• Should the policy still only apply to residential properties? <br />• What should the definition of residential include? <br />• Are the reimbursement amount changes adequate? <br />Recommendation <br />Review policy and provide recommendations to City Council. <br />Attachments <br />1. Existing Sewer Backup Policy <br />2. Proposed Sewer Backup Policy <br />3. Proposed Sewer Backup Application <br />
