Member Agencies

San Rafael Sanitation District (SRSD)

San Rafael Sanitation District manages wastewater collection and pumping to the CMSA treatment facility for most of the City of San Rafael and some unincorporated areas of Marin County.

The Las Gallinas/Santa Venetia area sewage flows are treated by a separate district, the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitation District ( LGVSD).

SRSD's two members on the CMSA Board are drawn from SRSD’s three-member Board, which consists of the Mayor of San Rafael, a City Council representative, and a County Supervisor. Traditionally, the Mayor and Council member have been the CMSA Board members and appoints one alternate representative.

City of Larkspur

The Larkspur representative on the CMSA Board is appointed by the Larkspur City Council.

Sanitary District No. 1 (SD1) of Marin County

Sanitary District No. 1 (SD1) of Marin County, also know as the Ross Valley Sanitary District, directly manages wastewater collection from the City of Larkspur, Kentfield, Greenbrae, Ross, San Anselmo, Fairfax, San Quentin Prison, and other Ross Valley unincorporated areas of Marin County. SD1 operates and maintains the collections system for the City of Larkspur proper under an annexation agreement dating to 1993.

SD1's five-member governing Board is elected at large. Two SD1 Board members and three alternates are appointed to the Board.

Sanitary District No. 2 (SD2)

Sanitary District No. 2 (SD2) is for the most part concurrent with the boundaries of the Town of Corte Madera.

By separate agreement, CMSA maintains and operates SD2 sewage pumping stations. Corte Madera Public Works Department supervises the contract with CMSA, plans and constructs improvements to their facilities, and maintains the gravity collection system.

The CMSA Commissioner from SD2 is appointed by the District Board, which is the Corte Madera Town Council.
