# About East Bay Sewer Inspection

East Bay Sewer Inspection explains the EBMUD Regional Private Sewer Lateral (PSL) ordinance: when a Compliance Certificate is needed to close escrow in Oakland, Alameda, Albany, Emeryville, Piedmont and the Stege Sanitary District, how the verification test works, and Berkeley's separate program.

It is for East Bay home sellers, buyers, agents and escrow officers. It also lists 41 contractors from EBMUD's PSL contractor list (a courtesy list) whose licenses are active on CSLB records. Contractors can claim or correct a listing on the list-your-business page.

## Where the information comes from

See [about our data](https://eastbaysewerinspection.com/about-our-data/).

## How it's built

* Listings are rebuilt from the official source files on each refresh; every listing shows its source and retrieval date.
* Rules and cost guides link the statute, regulation, agency page or official fee schedule they rely on. Where we couldn't confirm something from an official source, we say so or leave it out.
* Nothing here is legal advice. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency or town before you act.
