SSWA Finances

Financial services for SSWA are provided by the Suisun City Department of Administrative Services.

Accounting


The Suisun City Finance staff maintains for the Authority funds and accounts as may be required by good accounting practice and Revenue Bonds. Appropriate books, records, accounts, and files relating to the costs and expenses of maintenance and operation and the revenues of the Authority and each project are kept.

Billing


Water bills are based on the approved water rates, which can be viewed on the City of Suisun's website, and metered water usage. They are based on the size of water meter serving the customer, and the type of service (residential or commercial).  Water usage is determined by water meters; every service in SSWA is metered.  Online account access and bill paying services are available on the Suisun City website.

Budgets


Annual budgets are prepared and approved by the SSWA Board.
