Sewerage Commission — Oroville Region

The Sewerage Commission-Oroville Region (SC-OR) was formed from a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) made between the City of Oroville (COOR), the Lake Oroville Area Public Utility District (LOAPUD), and the Thermalito Water and Sewer District (TWSD), which are all located in the Oroville area. In accordance with this agreement, SC-OR provides wastewater collection (via an interceptor), wastewater treatment, and disposal services. Today, SC-OR also provides two auxiliary services: 1) recycled water production and distribution for irrigation and 2) solar photovoltaic electricity generation for internal use. LAFCOs in California have the ability to review municipal services provided by JPAs. The authority to review JPAs is provided in CKH and Public Records Act: CKH: Gov. Code sections 56301, 56378, 56386
