Rate increase Notice
Due to increased cost of materials and professional services required to maintain operations of the sanitary sewer system, to meet financial obligations for debt service acquired for State mandated wastewater system improvements, and to maintain compliance with the Dept. of Environmental Quality, the Winchester Bay Sanitary District shall be adopting Ordinance 1-2022 amending Ordinances 2-2006 and 1-2013 increasing monthly user rates from the current rate of $82.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) to $92.
The Winchester Bay Sanitary District was established in 1967 with a five member Board of Directors. The District provides sewage service to the small unincorporated community of Winchester Bay, Oregon, which is located adjacent to the Oregon Dunes Recreational area and the mouth of the Umpqua River. The District has a service area of approximately 290 acres. Winchester Bay attracts a large number of tourists to enjoy ocean and lake fishing, ATV riding on the sand dunes, and boating.
