BACKGROUND:
On December 20, 2016, the Board adopted the District Service Rules, codifying the various customer and regulatory resolutions dating back to 1956. The Service Rules provide a single document for customers to find the rules, rates, and charges for connecting to the publicly owned sewer system. Codifying the resolutions into a single document has benefitted both customers and staff by presenting the Service Rules in a contemporary language and in an organized format.
The proposed amendments to the Service Rules seek to adopt the Engineering News Record Index (ENR) for yearly adjustments to the connection fee, update the design review and inspection fee schedule for package plants, and provide other various administrative clarifications to rules concerning prohibited discharges, equivalent residential unit, wastewater loading, existing septic tank connection requirements, and construction dewatering plan review.
The proposed resolution was introduced to the Board on April 4, 2023, and a public hearing was set for May 16, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. A Business Impact Statement on the proposed resolution was accepted by the Board on May 2, 2023.
Notice of the public hearing was placed in the Las Vegas Review Journal on April 9, April 16, April 23, April 30, May 7, and May 14, 2023. The proposed resolution and amended Service Rules were also posted on the District website.
If adopted, Resolution 23-001 codifies these amendments to the District Service Rules effective on July 1, 2023.
This agenda item has been reviewed and approved by the District General Counsel.
