IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICES

Our office is now open to public. In-person permit counter service hours are Monday - Friday, 10am-3pm. For in-person service outside of the daily hours, an appointment is required.   To get in touch with us please call 408-255-2137 or send an email to plans@csd2-3.org. 

The safety of our customer, employees, and families remains our number one priority and we continue to follow CDC guidelines.  We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this uneasy time.

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.

NOTICE OF SCHEDULED SEWER SERVICE CHARGE ADJUSTMENT FOR CSD NO. 2-3 CUSTOMERS

Last year County Sanitation District No.2-3 (CSD 2-3) performed a comprehensive sewer rate study and the Board of Directors adopted a 3-year, phased-in increase to its sewer service charges (CSD 2-3 Ordinance No. 50 adopted on June 22, 2021).  These increases are needed to meet multiple financial obligations, including, but not limited to, capital improvements and rising operation/maintenance costs of the District’s infrastructure, purchasing, or leasing supplies and equipment required as part of the foregoing obligations, and maintaining adequate reserves and solvency relating to the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater from your residence or business.

The table below is your new sewer service charges for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023). Annual Sewer Service Charges are placed on your Santa Clara County property tax statement. The charges appear on the tax statement as a single line item and are listed as “County Sanitation 2-3”. Sewer Service charges are not a property tax and are not related to the assessed value of a property. They represent a charge for a service provided. Please call or email Benjamin Porter at (408) 255-2137 (bporter@csd2-3.org) if you have questions.
