🌧️ The rain reminds us to keep our properties and roadways clear to prevent spills and flooding—all in protection of our waterways! 🌊

Here are some simple ways to prepare before and after a storm:

🔧💦 Fix Those Leaks & Keep Your Home Fresh! 💦🔧

Did you know a dripping faucet or leaking toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water each month? That’s water (and money!) going right down the drain. 🚰💸

✅ Check your fixtures and fix any leaks to conserve water and lower your bill.

✅ If you have a sink or drain you rarely use, run the faucet occasionally to keep water in the P-trap—this prevents odors and vapors from creeping into your home.

💡 Small efforts = big savings! Let’s stay water-wise! 💙♻️

Super Bowl Sunday Prep!

🏈 Avoid game-day plumbing fumbles by cooling, containing, and trashing fats, oils, and grease instead of pouring them down the drain. Keep your celebration smooth with clog-free pipes.

Enjoy the game, the snacks, and hassle-free plumbing!

🚛 Behind the Scenes: Visiting Vactor’s Manufacturing HQ! 🏭

Some of our Field Service Leaders, Marvin and Mauricio, recently traveled to Vactor’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Streator, Illinois, to see firsthand where our key equipment is built.

This visit was especially exciting as they got to sign off on the newest addition of a combination truck to our fleet, ensuring it meets our high standards before joining the team! ✅

🚨 Homeowners & Contractors: Keep Pool Plaster Out of Your Drains! 🚨

Pouring pool plaster down drains can cause serious blockages, leading to costly fines for both you and your contractor. 🚫💰

✅ Proper Disposal Matters! Make sure your contractor follows best practices by dewatering and transporting plaster to a landfill or recycling facility.

For guidance or to report issues, call us at (760) 753-0155 or visit our website. Let’s work together to keep our community’s wastewater system running smoothly! 💙♻️

🚰💙 Inspiring Young Water Stewards at Capri Elementary! 💙🚰

We had an amazing time at Capri Elementary’s Kindergarten Water Day, where our Field Service Technicians gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what happens to water after it leaves their sinks, showers, and toilets—all in both English and Spanish! 🌎💧

From our combination vacuum and line-cleaning truck to the closed-circuit TV robot that inspects sewer lines across northern Encinitas and southern Carlsbad, students got an up-close look at how we protect the ocean and its marine life every day. 🐠🌊
