REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONIBACKGROUND: Each year the County Sanitation Districts are required to set by Ordinance the annual sewer service charges. Government Code Section 54992 describes what steps are necessary before such an ordinance can be adopted. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The District would be unable to collect sewer and water service fees for Fiscal Year 1989-90. The collection and treatment of sewage is necessary to protect the public health and the environment. A safe, dependable, potable water supply is also essential. If the District is unable to collect the service fees it would have to borrow money to provide these services, and future service charges will have to be increased to repay the borrowed money. ORIG.
