Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts
Home MenuWill Serve Program
The Sanitation Districts established the Will Serve Program to provide information on available trunk sewer and treatment plant capacities for proposed development projects within the Sanitation Districts’ service area. This important information is provided in the form of the Will Serve letter.
The Will Serve letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service. It states the Sanitation Districts’ intent to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted. In order for the Sanitation Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the design capacities of the Sanitation Districts' wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air Quality Management Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast and Mojave Desert Air Basins as mandated by the CAA. All expansions of Sanitation Districts' facilities must be sized and their service phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The available capacity of the Sanitation Districts' treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG.
