Lateral Line Rehab Rebates Available
The City of St. Petersburg’s Lateral Line Rehabilitation Rebate Project enables select property owners in Greater Pinellas Point and Maximo Moorings to repair faulty privately-owned lateral lines (the pipe that connects private residences to the City’s sewer system) that may be contributing to sewer overflows and backups.
The properties in the attached map are eligible for rebates for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis:
- Up to $800 for a private lateral line inspection
- Up to an additional $8,000 for private lateral line rehabilitation work
Inspections are still taking place and involve little to no contact. Find more information and register at www.stpete.org/laterallines. Questions can be directed to the Water Resources Department at 727-893-7261.

Is there any information as to when other streets, in Maximo, will become eligible for this program? While my lines might be newer, based on where I live, there is still a significant part of Maximo whose lines must be experiencing the same issues as the area currently being served.
