Ross Valley Sanitary District

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 Ross Valley Sanitary District is proposing to raise its sewer service rates to begin addressing the community’s rapidly-failing sewer system and to change the methodology by which its rates are calculated. The following links provide information for our customers about the proposals:
