Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District capacity charge

“Sewer Capacity Charges are one-time fees charged to new connections or to existing connections where a change in use will result in increased discharge to the treatment plant facilities. Sewer Capacity Charges are designed to help recover the costs of infrastructure and assets benefiting new development.”

“The District should continue to treat Capacity Charge revenues to (unrestricted) Fund 3 and can be used to fund any type of capital project (including repair and replacement projects). Capacity Charge revenues should not be used to fund operating costs.”

“"Service area" means all property within the Cities of Fairfield and Suisun City and property specifically authorized by Section 48 of the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District Act to connect to District sewers.”
