About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Seattle Side Sewer Assistance Program in its Seattle, WA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

The Seattle Side Sewer Assistance Program provides interest-free loans up to $15,000 for income-qualified homeowners who need emergency repair or replacement of a broken or collapsed side sewer line. Eligible properties must be owner-occupied within Seattle city limits. The loan does not cover routine maintenance, jetting, liner-only installation, or work completed before loan documents are recorded.

Side sewer replacement in Seattle typically runs $8,000-$15,000 depending on depth and pipe length; loan covers the full eligible cost.
