7.1.F. - Page 15 Clean Water Act, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board imposed a civil fine in the amount of $95,600. To date, the City has paid the civil fine ($95,600) and hired a contractor to perform a pump station evaluation City-wide to evaluate the condition of all pump stations in an effort to prevent future SSOs. 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 monthly rate for sewer service. Non-residential customers pay volumetric charges based on customer class and metered water use, subject to a minimum monthly charge. The City has increased its sewer rates each year the past 10 years and has adopted additional rate increases for the next two fiscal years in anticipation of increased funding needs for the City's capital improvement program, SVCW's CI P, and operating cost inflation. The following table shows the City's historical and adopted sewer rates. These rates were adopted pursuant to Article XIIID of the California Constitution.
