SCV sanitation fee hike alert!


DEADLINE FOR THIS ACTION IS TUESDAY, JULY 27, 2010

Currently there is discussion in our community regarding proposed Sanitation District rate increases, which would affect both businesses and residents if approved. Businesses and residents affected by the proposed increases have been sent a “notice”, which allows each recipient the opportunity to register opposition to the proposed increases by mailing in the notice to the Sanitation District address no later than July 27, 2010.



Iam Lamont, Publisher of the Signal, “…..this issue is the BIGGEST threat to the SCV Economy and local businesses that we face. If the building of a $210 million plant and the subsequent rate hikes are shoved down our throat it will have a significant impact on business loss and the killing of jobs. …”




IMPORTANT NOTE: Protest forms must be returned BY MAIL to the Sanitation District address listed below, NOT to the City of Santa Clarita. If you choose to protest the proposed rate increases please return your notice to the Sanitation District by mail, by July 27, 2010 at the following address:

Secretary of the Board

Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District

P.O. Box 4000

Whittier, CA 90607
