Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lot within the Resort Improvement District’s service area?
The Resort Improvement District (RID) is the community services district for water, sewer and electricity in Shelter Cove. All lots may be served with electricity and water. A significant number of lots are not within the sewer service area.

This general map of the community service district boundaries indicates which areas are served by sewer. Upon review of the map please note that a significant number of lots are not located within the sewer service area of the service district. Availability of sewer service for lots located near the edge of the sewer service boundary should be verified with the RID. Additionally, RID staff can advise you as to the current fees and potential logistics associated with service connections. Logistical considerations include but are not limited to distance from existing infrastructure and other lot specific considerations. The RID can be reached at 9126 Shelter Cove Road Whitethorn, CA 95589 or 707-986-7447.

Anyone interested in the development of a lot outside the sewer service area is advised to contact the Division of Environmental Health located at 100 H Street Suite 100, Eureka CA 95501 or 707-445-6215.
