Sewer Fees

This fee feature class represents current wastewater information in the City of Los Angeles. This fee indicates that a property owner has paid the fee for a Special House Connection Sewer or Bonded Sewer House Connection Sewer permit, and the property has not been assessed for a public sewer. Fee information is inputted into the Wastewater Database by the District Office Staff. The Mapping and Land Records Division of the Bureau of Engineering, Department of Public Works provides the most rigorous geographic information of the sanitary sewer system using a geometric network model, to ensure that its sewers reflect current ground conditions. The sanitary sewer system, pump plants, wyes, maintenance holes, and other structures represent the sewer infrastructure in the City of Los Angeles. Wye and sewer information is available on NavigateLA, a website hosted by the Bureau of Engineering, Department of Public Works.For a complete list of attribute values, please refer to (TBA Wastewater data dictionary). Wastewater Fee points layer was created in geographical information systems (GIS) software to display points representing bonded or special fee parcels. The fee points layer is a feature class in the LACityWastewaterData.gdb Geodatabase dataset. The layer consists of spatial data as a points feature class and attribute data for the features. The points are entered manually based on wastewater sewer maps and BOE standard plans, and information about the points is entered into attributes. The fee points data layer indicate that property owner have paid the fee for a Special House Connection Sewer or Bonded Sewer House Connection Sewer permit, and the property has not been assessed for a public sewer. The wastewater fee points are inherited from a sewer spatial database originally created by the City's Wastewater program. The database was known as SIMMS, Sewer Inventory and Maintenance Management System. Fee information should only be added to the Wastewater Fee layer if documentation exists, such as a wastewater map approved by the City Engineer. Sewers plans and specifications proposed under private development are reviewed and approved by Bureau of Engineering. The Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering's, Brown Book (current as of 2010) outlines standard specifications for public works construction.
