Special District Leadership Foundation
District of Distinction

The Stege Sanitary District is a District of Distinction through the Special District Leadership Foundation. On July 15, 2009, Stege Sanitary District became a District of Distinction though the Special District Leadership Foundation. The District of Distinction accreditation is one of the most prestigious local government awards in the state of California. This award clearly validates Stege's commitment to good governance and to ethical and sound operating practices.

As of 2011, Stege is one of only 16 special districts with this distinction, out of over 3,400 special districts in the state of California.

Why become a District of Distinction?
The accreditation criterion gets to the heart of best practices in public agencies and demonstrates that your district:
• Understands and respects the responsibilities inherent in providing essential public services.
• Has clean financial audits and operates in a fiscally responsible and transparent manner.
• Is conscious of the ever-changing operating environment by having current and relevant policies and procedures in place that conform to all statutes and regulations under state law.
• Places an emphasis on continuing education completed by having each of the district’s board members and executive staff in ethics, governance and leadership training.
• Focuses on having sound policies in the areas of governance, board conduct, district finances, transparency and reserves.


District Organization

The Stege Sanitary District is an independent Special District of the State of California as reorganized under the Sanitary District Act of 1923. The District is a public agency administered by a duly elected five member Board of Directors. The Board of Directors currently meets monthly on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at 7:00PM to discuss the business of the District. Members of the public are welcome to attend these public meetings.
 

A Glance at the District

The Stege Sanitary District is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The District was originally formed in 1913 to provide public health services to a then lightly populated area of southwest Contra Costa County. The District provides sanitary sewer services to Kensington, El Cerrito and a portion of Richmond known as the Richmond Annex (see Boundary Map).

The District currently operates and maintains 150 miles of sanitary sewers and two pumping stations serving over 40,000 residents residing within the District boundaries. Wastewater treatment and disposal services are provided by East Bay Municipal Utility District, Special District No. 1.
