Sewer Service Rates

Sewer Service Charges fund the costs of the maintenance, operation, and replacement of the facilities necessary to collect, treat, and dispose of the wastewater generated from your home or business. CVSan uses the Alameda County Tax Rolls as the primary method of collecting the Sewer Service Charge on an annual basis. This line item shows up on the property owner’s property tax bill under the Special Assessments section. CVSan has one of the lowest rates in Alameda County and lower than the average annual charge in the State of California.
