Capping of Sewer Lateral Instructions

At times, you will need to cap a sewer lateral and you must be familiar with the Authority's requirements for the process. Below are two sets of instructions for capping a sewer lateral. Which one you use will depend on what the lateral is connected to; a regular sewer main or a sewer interceptor.

If you are unsure what the lateral you are capping is connected to, please contact the Authority at (717) 545-0116 or the Authority's Engineer, Kevin Fox of GHD, at (717) 541-0622 and they will be able to help you. Should you have any questions regarding capping a lateral, after viewing the material below, please contact Kevin Fox for clarification. Thank you.
