Deadline Nears For Pima County Sewer Amnesty Program

The Pima County Wastewater Reclamation Department’s one-time Amnesty Program aimed at addressing the potentially large number of customers who may be receiving free sewer service comes to an end on June 30.

The County’s website explains that “over the years, it has been determined there are a number of sewer users that are connected to the system but not paying sewer user fees. The reasons these accounts have not been added to the billing system are numerous and explainable. It is appropriate the County take steps to ensure all users connected to the sanitary sewage system pay their fair share of user fees.”

This one-time Amnesty Program will allow unauthorized users of the sewer system to come forward and have the issue corrected without enforcement of back billing or penalties. After this grace period has ended, any unauthorized sewer system user found will be back billed per Pima County Code.

The one-time Amnesty Program is available through June 30, 2017, and forgives back user fee charges plus related interest, administrative charges, and penalties. The Program is open to anyone without a sewer user account who discharges into a Pima County sanitary sewer system.
