The Surcharge Program requires all industrial companies discharging to the Sanitation Districts' sewerage system to pay their fair share of the wastewater treatment and disposal costs. The Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit Program allows for the regulation of industrial wastewater dischargers to protect the public health, environment, and the public sewerage system. These legal mechanisms establish the Sanitation Districts' Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit, Connection Fee, and Surcharge Programs. Companies that discharge industrial wastewater to the sewerage system are governed by both the Wastewater Ordinance and the Connection Fee Ordinance for the District in which the discharge is located. Individual Sanitation Districts also adopted Connection Fee Ordinances in 1981 (which were amended in 1984, 1990, 1992, and 1997). The Sanitation Districts adopted a Wastewater Ordinance effective April 1, 1972, as amended on July 1, 1980, July 1, 1983, November 1, 1989, and July 1, 1998, to protect and finance the operation of the Sanitation Districts' wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal facilities. In addition to the treatment plants, the Sanitation Districts operate and maintain over 1,400 miles of trunk sewers and 50 pumping plants for conveyance of wastewater. Treated effluents from these facilities are either discharged to the ocean, surface waters or land, or are reused for applications such as landscape irrigation, groundwater recharge, and industrial processing. The Sanitation Districts currently own and operate 11 wastewater treatment plants which handle over 500 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater. The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Sanitation Districts) are a group of special districts serving the wastewater and solid waste management needs of over 5.4 million people and 2,300 industrial users in Los Angeles County.
