Los Angeles County Municipal Code Ch. 20.44 Marina Sewer Maintenance District

The ordinance codified in this chapter shall be known as the "sewer maintenance service charge ordinance" of the Marina Sewer Maintenance District, and may be cited as such.

(Ord. 11749 Art. 1 § 101, 1978.)

A.

"Board" means the board of supervisors of the county of Los Angeles.

B.

"County engineer" means the county engineer of the county of Los Angeles or his duly appointed representative, deputy, agent or inspector.

C.

"District" means the Marina Sewer Maintenance District.

D.

"Possessory interest" means a possessory interest as shown on the local secured tax rolls of the county of Los Angeles.

(Ord. 11749 Art. 2 §§ 201—204, 1978.)

The action of the voters on June 6, 1978, has substantially reduced the amount of money from ad valorem assessments available for the maintenance of sewers within the District. The sewers in the District must be properly maintained in order to protect the public health and safety of the residents therein and the general public. It is, therefore, necessary to impose a sewer maintenance service charge upon the properties within the District. In order to avoid the substantial costs of establishing a billing system for collection of the charges, the board of supervisors finds that the charges should be collected on the tax roll. The board of supervisors further finds that the most equitable basis upon which to levy the charge is on a charge in proportion to the amount of water used in a previous one-year period.

(Ord. 2008-0032 § 4, 2008; Ord. 11749 Art. 1 § 102, 1978.)

A.

An annual sewer service charge shall be levied on each possessory interest within the District for services and facilities furnished by the District. The amount of the charge for each possessory interest shall be computed by multiplying the sewage unit charge by the number of sewage units for current land use of the possessory interest as shown in Table A, set out in Section 20.44.060. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2025-26 the sewage unit charge shall be $275.00. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-27 the sewage unit charge shall be $360.00. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027-28 the sewage unit charge shall be $445.00.
