The money that Mt. View Sanitary District receives from customers pays for the reliable collection and treatment of your wastewater. Wastewater comes from flushing the toilet, washing the dishes, showering/bathing, doing laundry, and other basic functions of everyday life.

Every dollar you spend ensures that our treatment plant runs 24/7, 365 days a year. Your rates cover the cost of infrastructure improvements, testing, customer service, and much more. For a single-family residence, that’s less than $3 per day to keep an endless amount of wastewater flowing smoothly from your home to our treatment plant where it receives a high level of treatment to meet ever-changing and strict regulations.

Here's how your less than $3 per day breaks down:

• Operations & Maintenance: (O&M) $1.28/day – Includes routine inspections, preventative maintenance, repairs, customer service, and the daily functions necessary to keep the facility running 24/7, 365 days/year.  These routine functions performed by operations, collections, and laboratory personnel are essential for preventing sewer spills, repairing critical infrastructure, and ensuring overall safe and efficient sewage collection, wastewater treatment, and regulatory compliance.
• Administration: $0.86/day - Provides the organizational backbone that handles all administrative and financial operations including accounting and payroll, human resources, and customer service.
• Capital Improvements: $0.44/day - Includes long- and short-range capital project planning, environmental planning, design, construction, permitting, and right-of-way issues to upgrade and maintain the physical systems, like underground pipes, pumps, pump stations, tanks, treatment units, and buildings.
• Community Education: $0.05/day - Education programs and outreach efforts enhance community understanding and engagement.
• Watershed Management: $0.03/day– Protecting Moorhen & McNabney marshes.  Treated wastewater flows through Moorhen and McNabney.  The marshes require routine monitoring and maintenance to ensure discharge can safely and reliably travel through them.
• Employee Development: $0.01/day – MVSD employees receive training to stay abreast of new technologies and techniques, develop their industry knowledge, and maintain required certifications or licenses.
