Fewer failures than septic systems.
Failed or aging septic systems can leak untreated waste into the groundwater. Converting to the city sewer system eliminates this risk, protecting Livermore's drinking water sources and surrounding ecosystems.
Septic systems can release excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into local waterways, leading to harmful algal blooms. The Livermore Water Reclamation Plant provides advanced treatment that significantly reduces these pollutants.
The Livermore Water Reclamation Plant treats 2.2 billion gallons of wastewater each year, with a portion being reused as recycled water. By connecting to the sewer system, you're contributing to sustainable water management practices in Livermore.

The South Livermore Sewer Expansion Project has specifically made connections available to properties along Buena Vista Avenue, South Livermore Avenue, Tesla Road, and Greenville Road. We'll check the availability of sewer connections in your area during our initial consultation.
According to Livermore municipal codes, septic tanks must be properly abandoned when connecting to the sewer system. This involves pumping out the remaining contents, cleaning the tank, and filling it with sand or gravel. Our team handles this entire process in compliance with local regulations.
The cost of converting from septic to sewer varies significantly depending on several factors unique to your property, including distance to the main sewer line, your property's terrain, existing septic system condition, and local permit requirements in Livermore.
