MWPCA - Sewer Study Information

MWPCA Sewer Committee

In 2006 the MWPCA approved $5000 from the designated funds contributed by our members for a sewer feasibility study of the different areas in the neighborhood to determine which existing sanitation systems are available to connect to our particular lots and provide a conceptional cost analysis.

Our neighborhood encompasses six distinctively different geographic areas and there are two possible Sanitary Districts to connect to. Go here to find which area your property is located in. The next steps are outlined in the meeting wrap-up. The study, which you should be able to print out easily, has been prepared by Dietrich Stroeh, well known Marin County engineer, of CSW/Stuber Stroeh, who has consulted with the MWPCA Sewer Committee for several years. The MWPCA has appointed long time board member Lynn Hindley to chair the sewer committee for 2007.

It would be costly for us to produce and mail out 420 copies of the study and the meeting report of the study, however if anyone does not have access and specifically requests a copy we will make one.

Some of us would connect through the Homestead Valley Sanitation District
