Proposition 218
& the Protest Process
Proposition 218 affords property owners the ability to protest the proposed
rate structure. Only one (1) valid protest will be counted for each parcel
receiving service from the SCV Sanitation District. A valid protest must be
received in writing and must include all of the following information:
1. Specifically identify the affected property, such as by Assessor’s Parcel
Number, unique street address, and/or customer account number;
2. Include the date, printed name, and signature (scanned or photographed
original signature is acceptable) of the individual submitting the protest;
AND
3. Indicate opposition to the proposed rate structure.
Once the SCV Sanitation District receives a written protest, it will become a
public record and it may be produced for public inspection, including all of
the information contained in the written protest document. To be counted,
a valid protest must be received by the SCV Sanitation District no later than
the dose of the Public Hearing to be conducted on May 20, 2024. Any protest
received late by the SCV Sanitation District will not be counted, regardless
of when it was sent. Protests can be mailed to the SCV Sanitation District at
P.O. Box 4000, Whittier, CA 90607-4000. A scanned copy of your protest,
including your signature, may also be submitted via email to rates@lacsd.org.
At the time of the Public Hearing, the SCV Sanitation District Board of
Directors will receive a final tabulation of all valid written protest received.
The SCV Sanitation District Board of Directors may approve the proposed
rate structure unless valid written protests are received for a majority of
the parcels receiving service from the SCV Sanitation District. Pursuant
to California Government Code Section 53759, there is a 120-day statute
of limitations for any judicial action or proceeding challenging any new,
increased, or extended wastewater fee or charge.
