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.
These proposed amendments to the Service Rules include use of the ENR index (Construction Cost) rather than the CPI index to calculate future connection fee adjustments and update the package wastewater treatment plant design review and inspection fee schedule originally established in 1982. Additional key changes being proposed are administrative in nature and include updates and clarifying language regarding prohibited discharges, equivalent residential unit, wastewater loading, existing septic tank connection requirements, and construction dewatering plan review.
If adopted, Resolution 23-001 codifies the amended Service Rules effective on July 1, 2023.
This agenda item has been reviewed and approved by the District General Counsel.
