If you get mail with the Las Vegas city logo on it, city hall may not be the sender.
The city of Las Vegas has inked an agreement with Service Line Warranties of America that allows the company to use the city’s logo for mailings touting its sewer line insurance program. The program, also associated with the National League of Cities, insures sewer lines that extend from residential properties within Las Vegas city limits.
Las Vegas property owners are responsible for sewer lines extending from their homes to the main sewer line, which is often in the middle of the street. As a result, they are on the hook for any necessary repairs to their sewer lines even if it’s outside their property boundaries in right-of-way areas.
There’s no obligation to buy the insurance, which costs $7.50 a month, or $6.75 if homeowners sign up within 60 days.
“The city saw this as an opportunity to make available to citizens an option to purchase insurance to cover the costly repair of sewer laterals, which are currently the residents’ responsibility,” city spokesman Jace Radke said in an email.
Information about the program started heading to mailboxes on Friday.
