Three Rivers Regional Wastewater Authority
System Development Charges (SDC's)
Three Rivers Regional Wastewater Authority operates under a long-range expansion projection plan
To cover plant expansion expenses, SDCs were created for all new developments occurring within the service area of the TRRWA. SDCs are a means of assessing fees that are used to bank funds to accommodate future expansion and construction needs. The methodology is derived by consultants and the final number is approved by the Three Rivers Regional Wastewater Operating Board. The current SDC fee is $1,560 per ERU for residential customers. As designed, the plan is continuously monitored and tightly managed. This plans included assessments of capacity in the existing system, including treatment capacity.
