The District conducts an annual detailed Sewer Use Charges Study (SUC) to review and address costs to provide reliable sewer service and to determine appropriate rate adjustments to continue to provide reliable service. The 2025 SUC proposed an increase for fiscal year 2025-26. Please note that these revenue increases are applicable to all customer classes.
