Sewer Service Rate Increase Proposed

Leucadia Wastewater District takes pride in providing top-tier service to our community while maintaining one of the lowest sewer service rates in San Diego County. With a current monthly rate of $38.12 (or $457.44 annually) for a single-family home, we stand well below the county average of $58.79 per month (or $705.48 annually). This commitment to affordability, coupled with a remarkable four-year no-spill streak, speaks volumes about our dedication to both quality service and environmental stewardship.

Did you know that the District offers a financial assistance program that can reimburse homeowners 50% of your sewer lateral repair costs, up to a maximum of $3,000? This program is geared to help with necessary sewer lateral repairs due to root intrusion, cracks, or potential blockages. The installation of lateral liners and/or replacing existing sewer pipe qualify as sewer repairs and can be reimbursed. A cleaning of the private lateral does not qualify for the program. The District paid $59,028 to property owners during FY2023.

Leucadia Wastewater District (LWD) will be conducting safe and non-toxic smoke tests on the following streets in the City of Encinitas as indicated on the map below during the week of June 10, 2024 from 7:30 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.

Smoke testing offers a way for our Field Service Technicians to detect storm water intrusion within the sewage collection system and identify which pipes need repair. Learn why smoke testing helps keep our waterways and communities clean through the link below.

The Leucadia Wastewater District will be closed on Monday, May 27, 2024, in observance of Memorial Day.

We honor and remember those who have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you for your service.

The Leucadia Wastewater District was proud to participate in Capri Elementary's 2024 Kindergarten Water Day. The District's Field Service Technicians (FSTs) brought out equipment to educate all of the classes around the wastewater collection and treatment processes in both English and Spanish.

Congrats to Nancy Joice and Capri Elementary on a successful Water Day!
