Ross Valley Sanitary District is a California utilities entity established in 1899, serving multiple communities in Marin County. Based in San Rafael, it operates and maintains an extensive wastewater collection system, including about 200 miles of sewer lines and 19 pump stations, and transports roughly four million gallons of wastewater daily to a regional treatment facility. Its customers encompass the towns of Fairfax, San Anselmo, Ross, Larkspur, and several surrounding neighborhoods, with the district aiming to minimize sanitary sewer overflows while delivering service at the lowest sustainable cost to protect public health and the environment. The organization highlights a longstanding role in the region’s wastewater infrastructure, noting a large portion of its network predates the mid-20th century, and it positions itself within the utilities sector focused on essential public health and environmental protection. A recent local news item references a legal matter involving a former employee, alongside a past initiative offering financial assistance to residents for fixing leaky or damaged sewer laterals, illustrating ongoing community engagement and operational considerations.
