Annexation Program - If your property is located outside the jurisdictional boundaries of a County Sanitation District and you would like to obtain sewerage service from the Sanitation Districts, your property needs to be annexed to a District. To obtain general information regarding annexation, please review the Information Sheet for Applicants Requesting Annexation to a County Sanitation District of Los Angeles County which provides answers to frequently asked questions and a copy of the Annexation Processing Fee Schedule. Please check with Districts' staff to confirm whether your parcel needs annexation. Districts' staff will make the final determination. After reviewing the Information Sheet, if you decide to request annexation to a Sanitation District, please call our offices at (562) 908-4288, extension 2708 or 2435 for an estimate of your annexation processing fees.

Service Charge Program - The Sanitation Districts collect funds annually to pay for the operation and maintenance of the Sanitation Districts' wastewater system. These charges are collected using the Service Charge Program for residential and commercial customers and using the Surcharge Program for industrial dischargers. There are occasions when adjustments should be made to a parcel's Service Charge. Normally, the Sanitation Districts make adjustments when a wastewater discharger can demonstrate that: A parcel is not connected to the sewer system but has paid a Service Charge; The water consumption for a parcel is below average for the category of use; The Sanitation Districts has either the wrong quantity or category of use for facilities located on a parcel resulting in over estimation of the quantity of wastewater discharged from the parcel. If your property fits any of the previous examples, carefully fill out the appropriate form and follow the instructions on the second page of the Claim for Service Charge Refund or Petition for Service Charge Reduction Due to Reduced Water Consumption . You can, also, elect to authorize an agent to act on your behalf in these matters. With this Letter of Authorization, the agent will be able to submit any claims or petitions needed for correction of your service charge. Once you have completed the appropriate forms, print, sign and mail the forms with the required attachments to: Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County Financial Planning Department, Room 104 1955 Workman Mill Road Whittier, CA 90607 - 4000 Sewerage Connection Fee Program - The Sanitation Districts charge connection fees when properties connect to the Sanitation Districts' System. An owner of a parcel of land pays a connection fee when: The property connects to the sewerage system for the first time for any structure located on a parcel of land within a District located in the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. The quantity of wastewater discharged increases due to the construction of additional dwelling units on or a change in land use of a parcel already connected to the sewerage system. The improvement square footage of a commercial or institutional parcel increases. The quantity and/or strength of wastewater from an industrial parcel increases by more than 25%. If your property fits any of the above conditions, please fill out, print, and sign the Sewerage Connection Fee Application and attach any necessary supporting documents.
