How is Maintenance Services funding the cost of repairing our sewers?
The City has implemented a sewer service fee based on the actual water usage of each Fullerton resident and/or business. The fee is charged on the bimonthly or monthly water bill. The sewer fee will cover the costs for operation and maintenance, compliance with regulatory agency requirements, capital improvement and replacement of the sewer system. All revenue collected from the sewer fee is placed in the Sewer Enterprise Fund, which supports the short and long-term needs of the system. This ensures continual maintenance and operations to meet the needs of our residents and businesses as well as meeting the mandates. Sewer Enterprise Fund revenues can only be spent on sewer-related maintenance, operations and capital improvement.
