Replacing Critical Infrastructure Before It Fails

San Marcos Creek Pipeline Crossing Emergency Repair

In December 2023, the District completed emergency repairs to fortify a sewer pipeline crossing San Marcos Creek on the eastern edge of the La Costa Resort and Spa south golf course.

The pipeline became exposed in the creek, making it susceptible to damage by debris during storm events. When built, the pipeline was three feet under the creek bed. Over time, the pipeline was undercut by erosion and was suspended mid stream.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

We are proud to announce that the Leucadia Wastewater District has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to transparency and excellence in financial reporting.

A heartfelt congratulations to our Admin and Finance team for earning this well-deserved accolade!

With summer in full swing, a pool is an alternative to the beach to enjoy our warm Southern California weather. This is a reminder to homeowners and contractors to properly dispose of the remaining pool plaster and to not pour pool plaster down the drain or your home's cleanout.

This past winter, the Field Services Technicians encountered pool plaster in the sewer system. Pool plaster is a cement-like material that begins as a liquid that will settle and harden in the sewer system.

Our Field Services Technicians-In-Training role is still open and applications will be accepted until July 15, 2024, at 4:30PM. See below for more details.

Wishing you and your family a happy and safe 4th of July!

The District will be closed Wednesday July 4, 2024. In case of an emergency, please call (760) 753-0155.

The District recently partnered with the Olivenhain Municipal Water District to exercise critical hardware at Saxony Road and La Costa Avenue. 🛠️🚚

Using OMWD’s valve-turning truck, we jointly maintained the valves that support our sewer infrastructure. 🚰🔧

A big thanks to the OMWD team for their invaluable support! 🙌👏
