Rio Ramaza septic conversion ends money-losing sewer district
Summary
Eight homes in the tiny Rio Ramaza community sit on a county sewer system that costs $48,000 a year to run but collects just $4,000 in fees. The county will spend about $250,000 building individual septic systems in the roadway and transfer them to owners, dissolving the district — a fix supervisors called a huge long-term taxpayer savings.
