PBCSD contracts with the Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD) for sewer treatment since 1968. PBCSD has access rights to one-third of the CAWD’s treatment plant’s capacity by contributing to one-third of plant capital items costs. PBCSD also shares the treatment plant operations and maintenance (O&M) costs based on the prorated wastewater flows of the two Districts and pays an additional 7.5% of the treatment plant O&M costs as administration fees. The annual O&M payments amount to about 40% of the plant total O&M costs.
