Sewer Utility Regulatory Issues General. Regulatory requirements applicable to the City's sanitary sewer collection system and conveyance system are contained in or imposed by regulation pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, and the State of California Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 1969, as amended. Both federal and State regulations are administered through the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The City is not aware of any environmental or regulatory issues that would adversely impact its ability to provide sewer collection service. Waste Discharge Requirements. The City is not subject to independent waste discharge requirements in connection with operation of its sanitary sewer collection system because it sends its wastewater to the Authority for treatment and discharge. Wastewater Rates The City's wastewater rates are independently established by the City Council pursuant to a rate ordinance, and do not require approval by any other legal entity. Single family residential customers are billed a flat rate for sewer service. Non-residential customers pay volumetric charges based on customer class and metered water use, subject to a minimum monthly charge.
