CASTRO VALLEY, CA – Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan) has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) in recognition of its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. This is the third year CVSan has applied for and received the award.
