The Winchester Bay Sanitary District, established in 1967, serves the small unincorporated community of Winchester Bay, Oregon, providing sewage service to approximately 290 acres. Located near the Oregon Dunes Recreational area and the mouth of the Umpqua River, Winchester Bay is a popular tourist destination known for its ocean and lake fishing, ATV riding on the sand dunes, and boating. The District's public sewer system, which includes 7 sewage lift stations and a wastewater treatment facility, was constructed in the early 1970s. In response to regulatory agency violations and the need for system improvements, the District underwent mandated upgrades in the early 2000s, lifting a connection moratorium in 2009. With ongoing efforts to maintain compliance with environmental regulations, the District is implementing a rate increase to cover the costs of materials, professional services, and debt service for the wastewater system improvements.Generated from the website
