“Connection fees payable by persons responsible for industrial operations are due upon service of notice of charges. Connection fees payable by other persons must be paid before an added burden, as that term is defined in Section 2.01, is imposed on the sewerage system and before a sewer connection permit is issued by the local permitting agency.”

“Connection fees and installment payment must be paid to the District either in person at the Joint Administration Office of the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, located at 1955 Workman Mill Road, Whittier, California, or by mailing the appropriate payment to the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, P.O. Box 4998, Whittier, California 90607-4998.”

“Any person imposing an added burden on the sewerage system shall pay a connection fee to the District, except for the following: (1) An existing industrial operation placing an added burden of 25% or less; or (2) A local governmental facility.”

“When a connection to the sewer will be made, customers will submit plans to the District for review, however the first recorded use on each NRSD parcel will not be charged an NRSD connection fee and will be granted a capacity unit baseline for that first use. Any increases in the flow or strength discharged to the system above the baseline capacity would require a connection fee for the increase at these proposed rates. The proposed connection fee is $9,410, which is based on the NRSD Engineer's Report.”
