New Connections to the West Bay Sanitary District

New connectors to the District’s Main Line Sewer System are required to obtain a permit from the District Offices. All construction must be in conformance with the District’s Standard Specifications, which may be downloaded from this website (See Downloadable Documents.) The current Connection Fee for a single family residence is $5,299.00; rates for Non-Residential customers are based on the type of discharge and may be obtained by contacting the District at (650) 321-0384. All permit and connection fees must be paid at the time a permit is issued by the District. All rates and fees are subject to change.

In addition to providing gravity sewer service, the District operates an On-Site Wastewater Disposal Zone. The Zone enables the use of “Innovative and Alternative” technologies to provide wastewater collection and treatment when gravity sewers are not available. The District is responsible for maintaining the pumping equipment that is used within the Zone. An additional charge is levied annually for this service.

If the property that is to be served is not within the District’s boundaries, it will be necessary to make an application to annex the property to the San Mateo (or Santa Clara) Local Agency Formation Commission. Those properties utilizing “Alternative and Innovative” technologies (Usually Septic Tank Effluent Pumping Systems or Grinder Pressure Sewer Systems) also require annexation to the On-Site Wastewater Disposal Zone. For further information contact the District Offices at (650) 321 0384
