Council adopts point-of-sale sewer certification ordinance to support wastewater regionalization
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 2025-03 requiring a camera inspection certification of sanitary sewer service at property sale (valid five years) to aid regional wastewater planning and reduce inflow/infiltration; council also authorized summary publication.
The Montrose City Council adopted Ordinance 2025-03 to add a point-of-sale requirement for sanitary sewer-service compliance, requiring homeowners to have their sewer line cameraed when selling a property; the certification is valid for five years.
Planning & Zoning staff explained the ordinance is intended to reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I) concerns and to support the city's participation in a regional wastewater project. The measure mirrors language used by neighboring cities and townships, with adaptations suggested after city-attorney review.
Council approved both the ordinance and a companion resolution authorizing summary publication. Staff said other cities that enacted similar point-of-sale rules have seen reductions in I&I.
