City of San Mateo’s Sewer Lateral Cost Sharing Program: How to Save on Repairs
If you are a City of San Mateo resident and need to repair or upgrade your private sewer line, you may qualify for financial assistance through the City’s Private Sewer Lateral Cost Sharing Program. This cost-sharing grant program helps property owners maintain their sewer laterals by covering a portion of repair or replacement costs.
Key Details of the Program:
- Purpose: This program is designed to encourage homeowners to maintain their sewer laterals by easing the financial burden of necessary repairs.
- Limitations: It does not cover partial replacements, spot repairs, pothole repairs, additional street resurfacing, or CCTV inspections. Funds are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, generally during the second half of the year.
Requirements for Participation:
One requirement of the program is obtaining three price quotes for the project. As a licensed General Engineering and Plumbing company (A-License and C36), we are qualified to provide you with one of these quotes and are equipped to handle work on both private property and public right-of-way as needed.

Why Consider the Cost-Sharing Program?
Replacing a sewer line is an investment in your property, but the inconvenience of a faulty or broken sewer service can be significant. The San Mateo Cost Sharing Program provides a valuable opportunity to reduce costs if you can complete the project within the program’s funding window.
