Learn About District Infrastructure Improvement Projects🚧
The District is currently working on several projects to keep our collection system in top working condition and to ensure the safe transmission of wastewater throughout the system. Below is the status of some of our current infrastructure projects.
Leucadia Pump Station Rehabilitation Project
The Leucadia Pump Station is the District’s second largest pump station. It pumps approximately 3.2 million gallons of wastewater per day to the Encina Wastewater Treatment Plant. The pump station is located at the District’s headquarters site and services the southeastern portion of Carlsbad and the eastern portion of Encinitas. The project will include the installation of five new pumps and a permanent emergency pump in an overflow basin. The new equipment will further bolster the District’s ability to respond to emergencies and prevent sewer spills. Additionally, the District will install a super-oxygenation system for corrosion prevention, odor control, and safety. Construction started in September 2020 and is expected to be completed by June 2021.
Diana Pump Station Project
The Diana Pump Station services the west area of Old Leucadia. The station pumps approximately 360 thousand gallons of wastewater per day. This project will upgrade the station’s electronics, replace pumps, and add an emergency generator for operation during loss of power. It is anticipated that construction will begin in the Spring of 2021.
2020 Gravity Sewer Repair Project
This Project includes the repair of 21 sites throughout our service area that includes over 1,000 feet of new sewer pipe, 17 new manholes, and 2 spot repairs on existing sewer lines. These repairs will keep the wastewater flowing in the pipes and ensure the integrity of the sewer system. Minor traffic impacts may occur at each site during construction. Construction will occur between Fall 2020 and Spring 2021.
