Monthly Rates

SRCSD customers pay a monthly service charge to fund the operations and maintenance of the wastewater treatment and conveyance system infrastructure. Your SRCSD service charge is included on the same bill that you pay to your sewer collection utility. Depending on the location of your home or business in our service area, your sewer collection utility is either the Sacramento Area Sewer District, City of Sacramento, City of West Sacramento or City of Folsom.
In July 2011, SRCSD's Board of Directors adopted a
three-year rate plan in order to fund a portion of the design and construction of new wastewater treatment processes that are required due to adoption of a new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. The new NPDES Discharge Permit was issued to SRCSD in December 2010 by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and is mandatory and enforceable. Full implementation of the new permit-required processes is expected to cost approximately $1.5 billion and must be completed by 2021. In addition, a portion of the newly adopted rates will address increased operation and maintenance costs and debt coverage related to the existing wastewater treatment system.
