NOTICE OF
PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASE
and of
PUBLIC HEARING
for the
CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO GIVES NOTICE that:
1. The City is proposing to increase sewer rates. The purpose of the proposed increase is to finance
improvements to the City's sewer collection, pumping and treatment facilities. The improvements are
necessary to comply with State and Federal water quality requu-ements, to reduce the overflow of raw
sewage during the wet weather season events and to provide additional reliability of the City's
facilities. The improvements include rehabilitation of sewer collection lines, upgrades to pump
stations, and upgrades to the treatment plant as well as all related administrative and incidental costs,
including the costs of financing the sewer improvements.
2. A description of how the rates are calculated and the proposed schedule of rate increases are available
at the Water Quality Control Plant located at 195 Belle Air Road, South San Francisco. If the rate
increases are approved, it is proposed that they will commence to be collected with the property taxes
beginning with Fiscal Year 2010-11 and will continue to be collected until otherwise modified by the
City. The sewer rates will not exceed the maximum amounts shown without another written notice to
the property owners.
3. Before taking final action on the proposed rate increase, the City Council will hold a PUBLIC
HEARING on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers,
Municipal Services Building, 33 Arroyo Dr., So. San Francisco. The Public Hearing will be for
hearing public testimony on the proposed sewer rate increase. The Council may continue the hearing
from time to time without further written notice.
4. Any property owner may file with the City Clerk, at any time before the end of the Public Hearing,
written comments regarding the proposed rate increase which will be made present and heard at the
public meeting.
S. To get additional information about the proposed rate increase, contact:
