SBDNO County Service Area 64

County Service Area 64 (CSA 64) operates within the Special Districts Department's Water and Sanitation Division, serving approximately 16,419 residents in the Spring Valley Lake community. The system includes:

• 6 active wells providing groundwater
• 3 storage reservoirs with combined capacity of 2,700,500 gallons
• Approximately 36 miles of water distribution lines
• 3,897 radio-read metered connections

A new well replacement project was scheduled for completion in 2017, replacing the aging Well 4 facility. CSA 64's management team and staff work collaboratively to ensure residents receive the highest quality water possible.

Our rigorous testing program monitors for bacteriological, chemical, and radiological contaminants throughout the year, maintaining transparency through annual Customer Confidence Reports (CCR). These reports detail all contaminants detected in the previous year and historical data.

To ensure tap water safety, both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board establish regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems. Similar protections exist for bottled water through FDA regulations and California law.

All water, including bottled varieties, may contain small amounts of some contaminants. Their presence doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, contact the USEPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

CSA 64 complies with California's Total Coliform Rule and the federal Modified Total Coliform Rule (effective April 2016), which protects public health by ensuring distribution system integrity and monitoring for microbial contaminants.

Business License Fees and Renewals

License fees vary based on business type, typically costing either $40.00 or $100.00 annually. The city sends renewal notices approximately 45 days before expiration. To renew, verify your information, make any necessary changes, and return the form with payment.

If not renewing, indicate this on the form to avoid late fees. Non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) certification are exempt from business license requirements.

Event Vendors and Special Licensing

Vendors participating in events covered by a special event license don't need individual business licenses. However, you must obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax license from the Arizona Department of Revenue and, for food vendors, proper permits from Maricopa County Department of Health Services.

Transaction Privilege Tax Licenses

This tax license is required for businesses selling tangible goods or offering property rentals. Service-based businesses are exempt from this requirement but still need a City Business License.

To trademark your business name, contact the Arizona Secretary of State to verify availability and file the appropriate paperwork. Fees apply for this service.

Exempt Businesses

Several business types are exempt from licensing requirements, including federal government operations, local agricultural producers, religious institutions, charitable organizations, and non-profit 501(c)(3) entities. Additional exemptions apply to out-of-town delivery services, real estate agents working under licensed firms, and school fundraising activities.
