Residents may receive a notice in the mail for the Service Line Warranty program for water and sewer lines. This program is offered at no cost to the City and no public funds are used to promote or administer the program. The program is optional.
Eligible Rochester homeowners can choose Service Line Warranties of America to bring them valuable protection for lines on their property and inside their homes. The service plans offered to homeowners through SLWA are solutions to help protect owners from the cost and inconvenience of home repair emergencies. Homeowners are often unaware these types of repairs are not covered by basic homeowners insurance policies or by the City. SLWA has put together programs that it believes would meet the needs of its customers.
The National League of Cities endorses the Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) program, and while the City of Rochester does not endorse it, the City’s aim is to bring attention to this type of insurance and explain where residents can get additional information.
