Background

The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD) is an independent political subdivision of the State of California, organized under the provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, Section 4700, et. seq.

While SRCSD is independently governed and financed, unlike most other sanitation agencies in California, it has no employees of its own. Instead, engineering, operations and maintenance, laboratory, and administrative and management services are informally contracted from the County of Sacramento's Water Quality Department. District funds are transferred to the County to pay for those services.

SRCSD provides wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal services for the urbanized portion of Sacramento County. A single 181 mgd million gallons per day capacity, secondary treatment wastewater plant provides all treatment services for Sacramento. The plant is expanded incrementally as needed to serve growth in the region. The District also operates and maintains more than 70 miles of interceptor pipeline, ranging to 120 inches diameter and several large wastewater pumping stations.

County Sanitation District 1 provides wastewater collection services in the urbanized unincorporated area of the County; in the cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova; and in a portion of the cities of Sacramento and Folsom. The District operates and maintains over 2,600 miles of pipeline and approximately 150 sewage lift stations.
