 Sutter Creek residents will soon see a significant increase in sewer
rates. The city is currently in the process of implementing a Sanitary Sewer
Management Project, or SSMP, as a part of the statewide Waste Discharge
Requirements adopted in 2006. The SSMP will also fulfill the City’s
requirements under the Cleanup and Abatement Order issued in September of 2001
by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The city council heard a presentation
this week by Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe, who is in charge of managing the project. He explained the
details and requirements of the SSMP, which is estimated to cost around 400,000
dollars a year when fully underway. The city is currently undergoing
discussions with a consultant who created a program for the Jamestown
Wastewater District on how to best implement the Operations and Maintenance
Program element, one of the largest aspects of the SSMP in terms of cost and
time. The final certification
of the SSMP is scheduled for May 1, 2010, but residents can expect the rate
increase by the end of this month, when the first phase is completed.
