Billing

I don't receive a bill from ISD. How am I charged for my sewer service?

Unlike many public utilities, Ironhouse Sanitary District assesses its customers annually through property tax bills. The fee you pay is determined by the type of property you own. For a typical single-family residence, the monthly charge (as of 2006-07) is $42.50, or $510 per year.

Board meetings

When are board meetings held and can I attend?

The ISD Board of Directors meets the first Tuesday of the month at our district offices, located at 450 Walnut Meadows Drive in Oakley. Meetings are open to the public.

Routine maintenance

I've noticed a potential problem with one of ISD's sewer lines. Who should I call?

Like everything, sewer lines require regular maintenance. ISD strives to prevent problems before they occur, but if you think you have spotted something we might have overlooked you may call our office at 925-625-2279 during business hours. Someone will attend to the situation.

Emergency situation

There is an emergency involving ISD's pipeline or property. Who should I call?

If the problem poses an immediate threat to health or safety, dial 911 first. You should also call our office at 925-625-2279. Calls after hours will be received by our answering service.

Septic systems

I own a septic tank, but I've noticed that recently a new subdivision went up in my area and I am wondering if now I can connect to ISD's sewer line?

With the pace of development in our service area it is possible that you may be able to connect with ISD as our trunk line is extended to accommodate the growth. If you are eligible you must pay a one-time hook-up fee of $4,946.30 in addition to the annual fee of $510 assessed on your property tax statement.

Hunting and fishing

I understand that pheasant hunting and fishing are allowed on ISD property. Is this true?

Yes. Game sports are allowed on Jersey Island by permit. You can obtain an application and specific details on this site, or stop by our office.
