Rates & State Requirements

Ross Valley Sanitary District is a California Special District and must comply with the State Water Resources Control Board's Waste Discharge Requirements. Among the requirements, sewer agencies must have a Sewer System Management Plan and must allocate adequate resources for operations, maintenance, and repairs by establishing a proper rate structure. The RVSD Board of Directors has recently approved new service rates for Fiscal Year 2011-12. Documents pertaining to the new rates include an updated Rate Study, Rate Study  Presentation, Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet, and Public Hearing Notification. The District is in the process of studying the feasibility of converting from a flat to flow-based rate structure.
