Hey Joe;
Not to familiar with California's exterior plumbimg, but I do know that if the basement is -5.5 feet at the roadway in front of the house and the sewer is -7.5 feet 50' up and -11.5' down the road, it has to be -9.16' deep directly in front of the house.
Since sh$%t flows downhill, I would presume that it is working, and I would not be to concerned with all these valves.
I would, though be concerned with the block retaining wall in the background and the grade at the daylite entrance to the house.

Yes, I did call out the retaining wall, naturally. However, the client was really concerned about the sewer valve situation as both he and I did not know what is going on there. I looked at the inside of the patio doors there and could not find any evidence of moisture intrusion from driveway drainage. There is a good sized channel running along the edge of the house to 4" area drain inlet and an underground line daylighting about 50 feet away form the house further down slope.

Yes that is a back water valve in the middle box with a clean out on each side.
Nice installation.
