IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICES

Our physical office is closed.  To get in touch with us please call 408-477-7312 or send an email to bporter@csd2-3.org.

We know you’re working hard to keep yourselves healthy during COVID19 Shelter-in-Place. Help us keep our sewers healthy as well. Remember to never flush wipes, paper towels, or tissues because they clog our pipes! With so many people home all day now, there’s a lot of more water going down the sewer drain! Make sure to can the grease.  Pouring household grease down the drain is a major problem for us.  Our crews are working hard 24/7 to keep our systems up and running. With the shortage of toilet paper, there is a greater potential to use wipes. Just remember: Save your sewer pipes!  No matter what the label says, don’t flush them –place them in the trash instead.

In response to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation and under guidance from local, state and federal authorities, we will be closing our physical office, beginning Tues, March 17^th while continuing to provide limited service to our customers.

We will continue to provide 24/7 service for sewer backups and other sewer related emergencies. If you have a backup or slow drainage, please call County Communications at (408) 299-2507 and an inspector will respond within 2 hours.

Our office staff will continue to work from home as much as possible and provide service to our customers via phone and email. Please visit our Contact page to reach us via email or phone.

Over-the-counter permits and all construction related inspections are on hold until further notice.

The safety of our customers, employees and families remains our number one priority. We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this uneasy time.

SSMP (Sewer System Management Plan)

The District has updated the SSMP and the certification is scheduled at the Board of Supervisors meeting on March 12, 2019.  Click here for the SSMP.

The District Capital Improvement Fiscal Year 2016-2017 has been completed and included:

• Abandonment of a pump station and replaced with a gravity main on Valley Avenue.
• 103 spot repairs of sewer mains along Jerilyn drive between White Road and Meadow Lane and surrounding streets.

The project will enhance the neighborhood’s sanitary sewer system and avoid potential sewer overflows into North Babb Creek and adjacent properties.
