Novato Sanitary District provides sewage disposal services for
the
community of Novato, California.
Here are a few highlights in the history of Novato Sanitary District:
-
Novato Sanitary District was chartered October 5, 1925 as Sanitary
District #6.
-
Prior to1949, sewage disposal needs of the community of Novato
were provided through the use of individual septic tanks and
leach fields.
-
In 1949, a comprehensive sewerage project built a collection
system and a primary treatment plant.
-
In 1954, a $450,000 bond measure passed to improve and increase
the capacity of the Novato treatment plant to 2 million gallons
of wastewater treated per day plant and an assessment district
was created to build the Ignacio treatment plant.
-
In 1986, a major upgrade was completed to increase both the
Novato plant and Ignacio plant capacity and treatment. The upgrade
reflected the response by the Board of Directors to the increasing
capacity needs of the growing community served. The upgrade
also helped to meet the more stringent Federal and State standards
of water pollution control.
