AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 1
ESTABLISHING SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
The Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 1 of
Orange County, California, does hereby ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1: Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to
establish a system of sanitary sewer service charges required to
be paid by property owners for the services and facilities
furnished by the District in connection with its sanitation
treatment works and sewage collection system.
Revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance shall
be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction,
maintenance and operation of the sewage collection facilities and
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities of the District,
together with costs of administration and provisions for
necessary reserves.
Section 2: Annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge. Commencing
July 1, 1985, each parcel of real property located within the
District which is improved with structures designed for residen-
tial, commercial or industrial use and connected to the
District's system, shall pay a sanitary sewer service charge
based on the average volume of wastewater discharged by a class
of users in the sum or sums as set forth in Table A of this
Ordinance.
Section 3: Application of Ordinance. The provisions of this
-1-
Ordinance shall be in addition to Ordinance No. 104 and 105 of
the District establishing regulations for use of District's
sewage facilities, including provisions for payment of charges or
fees related thereto.
Section 4: Exceptions. Except as expressly provided in
Section 5 hereof, the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply to
all properties in the District, and no exception shall be
provided for properties otherwise deemed exempt from payment of
taxes or assessments by provisions of the State Constitution or
statute, including properties owned by other public agencies or
tax exempt organizations.
Section 5: Exemptions and Appeals. in recognition that
certain legal parcels of real property exist within the District
which are not connected to the District system and that other
properties acquire considerably greater potable water than is
ultimately discharged to the District's system, it is the intent
of the District that said parcels be exempt totally or in part
from the payment of charges as prescribed herein.
Any property owner may appeal the assessment of the charges
and submit a claim for rebate to the District on the forms
prescribed and provided by the District, within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the annual bill is mailed. All applica-
tions for rebate of the annual sewer service charge will be
determined by the General Manager of the District, who may grant
a partial or full rebate or adjustment of the charge based on
receiving satisfactory proof that an inequity exists between the
-2-
amount and the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's
systems. Such inequities may include, but are not limited to the
following instances:
a) the use of the parcel differs from the use indicated by
the charge;
b) no service connection to the District system exists from
the parcel charged;
c) the principal water use is agricultural
d) any other use wherein the amount of wastewater
discharged to the District's system is significantly
less on a regular basis than the amount that would
normally be expected to be discharged by the class of
property in question.
Section 6: Annual Charge Based on Fiscal Year. The sanitary
sewer service charge established by this Ordinance shall be for
the fiscal year commencing July 1 and terminating June 30, and
there shall be no proration of such charges.
Section 7: Credit for Industrial Permittees: A credit shall
be allowed to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Article 3 of
Ordinance No. 104 in an amount equal to the annual sanitary sewer
service charge established by Section 2 of this Ordinance. Said
credit shall be made in the same manner as credit is allowed for
ad valorem taxes pursuant to Section 302.6, 303.6 and 304.5(B) (4)
of Ordinance No. 104.
Section 8: Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance
or the application to any person or circumstance is held invalid
-3-
by order of court, the remainder of the Ordinance or the
application of such provision to other persons or other
circumstances shall not be affected.
Section 9: Effective Date: This Ordinance shall become
effective thirty days after its adoption.
Section 10: The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of
this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in a
newspaper of general circulation in the District as required by law.
