The Sanitary Sewer Collection System Charges are the fees apportioned to each individual user that connects to the City of Turlock sewer collection system. The sewer collection system collects sewage from an individual user's property and transports that sewage to the Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment. The Sanitary Sewer Collection System Charges are divided into the following three separate and distinct fee structures: (A) Sewer Connection Fee; (B) Sewer Main Frontage Fee; and (C) Sewer Trunk Capacity Fee. The Sewer Connection fee pays the cost of connection to the collection system and is deposited into the WQC Enterprise Fund. The Sewer Main Frontage Fee reimburses the cost of existing lines and is deposited into the Sewer Line Construction Reimbursement Fund. The Sewer Trunk Capacity Fee pays for extending the sanitary sewer trunk system and is deposited into the Sewer Trunk Capacity Fund.
