Recap of San Andreas Sanitary District Board Meeting Held Wednesday Regarding Proposed Rate Increase
San Andreas, CA....One of the hot topics discusses at Wednesday evenings San Andreas Sanitary District Meeting was the possibility of proposed rate increase for the San Andreas Area. Why is Rate Adjustment Needed? The District collects wastewater from homes and businesses within San Andreas and then treats and disposes it at its waste water treatment plant. The current monthly sewer rates charged by the District cover the District’s cost necessary to operate, maintain, and service debt on the existing waste water collection and treatment system. It does not cover upgrade improvements to the waste water treatment and costs of operating those improvements in order to maintain compliance with State requirements.....
The State of California Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board has notified the District that it is not in compliance with State standards and has ordered the District to take action so that it comes into compliance. In order to meet the State standards, the District must undertake the construction of improvements (“Improvements”) at its waste water treatment plant. The income from the proposed monthly service charge rate increase will be used to pay for the construction and operation of the Improvements that benefit existing District rate payers.
"Hopefully we can get grants or longer term financing from the Fed stimulus package, as it sorts out today, these are the prices we will have to pay" says Steve Schimp.
Auburn Constructors has been declared the low bidder for the San Andreas Sanitary District 2008 wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade project.
