Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) is a special district that collects and cleans an average of 45 million gallons of wastewater per day for about 448,000 residents and 3,000 businesses in central Contra Costa County.

CCCSD’s mission, vision and values reflect how our 260 dedicated employees and five-member Board of Directors achieve our ultimate goal: providing the best possible service to our community while protecting public health and the environment .

CCCSD also operates a household hazardous waste collection facility, recycles high-quality water, and promotes pollution prevention through various educational, informational and inspection programs. 

CCCSD has experienced a tremendous amount of change since its formation in 1946. During the past several decades, we have dedicated ourselves to improving our performance and creating added value for our customers.  The results of these efforts have been recognized by regulators and peers in the industry with several awards.

Awards Received in 2006-2007:

• National Association of Clean Water Agencies' (NACWA) 2006 Peak Performance Platinum Award. This award recognizes the District's processing of more than 17 billion gallons of wastewater last year without a single permit violation. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit demands strict adherence to stringent Federal, State, and regional water quality requirements. Meeting 100% compliance means CCCSD is achieving its ultimate goals of protecting the environment and keeping pollutants out of the Bay. This marks the ninth year in a row that CCCSD has reached 100% compliance with our permit.
  
  
• Government Finance Officers Association of the United States & Canada's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. This is the seventh consecutive year that CCCSD's Finance and Accounting Division staff has received this award, given for the team's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This award is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and finance recording.
  
  
• National Purchasing Institute's Annual Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award. This is the second time since 2004 that CCCSD's Purchasing and Material Services team has won this award. In order to win it, an organization must achieve a high score in each of the following: innovation, professionalism, electronic procurement, productivity, and leadership.
  

The keys to our accomplishments have been our skilled and knowledgeable workforce, our emphasis on continuous improvement, and an effective use of technology in all areas of our operation.

In the years to come, CCCSD will continue looking ahead and raising the bar to ensure exceptional customer service and full regulatory compliance at responsible rates.
