Sewer Service Charge Information

The Sewer Service Charge (SSC) is on your Department of Water and Power (DWP) bill, if you are currently billed for the service. Generally, the charge is based on metered water use and generates funds for constructing and maintaining wastewater facilities such as sewers and sewage treatment plants, and for treating the sewage that is discharged into the sewer system. The current SSC rate is $3.27 per 748 gallons or one (1) HCF (hundred cubic feet) of sewage volume. For this fiscal year, the DWCF is 0.95 and the RSRP was from October 4, 2010 to April 21, 2011.
See the SSC Hearing Notice page on the proposed rate changes. The public hearing will be held on January 27, 2012 at 10:00 a. m. in the John Ferraro Council Chamber, Room 340, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California 90012.
