It’s an honor to serve our community by providing the basic sanitation services that keep our island healthy and thriving. Every day, our department’s nearly 800 wastewater employees work behind the scenes to collect, treat, and safely dispose of over 100 million gallons of sewage. We’ve worked hard to keep your sewer fees unchanged since 2016, but the truth is — with inflationary pressures and rising costs — we’ve reached a point where an increase is unavoidable.
