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 include changes to Rates and Charges, including increased fees for septage/chemical toilet waste disposal, fat/oil/grease/grit (FOGG) interceptor inspections, and the capacity maintenance charge (formerly availability charge). Additionally, the amendments introduce new fees for point of connection (POC) processing, plan reviews, and construction inspections. They also allow for the use of Hydromechanical FOGG interceptors under certain limited circumstances and establish an application fee.
Additional key changes being proposed are administrative in nature and include updates and clarifying language regarding delinquent accounts and POCs for single family residences.
If adopted, Resolution 25-002 codifies the amended Service Rules effective on July1, 2025.
This agenda item has been reviewed and approved by the District General Counsel.
