Pauma Valley Community Services District

The Pauma Valley Community Services District (PVCSD) provides wastewater, stormwater, and security services within the unincorporated north county community of Pauma Valley.

The District, which includes approximately 1,445 acres, provides services to 408 homes, a golf center, a school, a small commercial area, and a limited number of agricultural customers. Approximately half of the territory within the PVCSD is undeveloped.

The PVCSD was formed in 1961 to collect, treat, and dispose of locally generated wastewater. The District operates a wastewater treatment plant with a maximum capacity of 175,000 gallons per day (GPD). An average flow of 45,000 GPD of treated effluent is percolated through the District’s four infiltration ponds.

In 1996, the PVCSD was authorized by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), and voter approval was given to provide security services as a latent power.   PVCSD Security services involve Gate Attendants, Patrol Officers, and vehicular traffic monitoring through the Pauma Valley Country Club Estates. Security services are funded exclusively through monthly service charges.
