With the holidays approaching, there’s sure to be cooking and baking with plenty of oil.
The correct way to dispose of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) is by letting them cool, pouring them in a can, sealing the can with a lid, and then throwing it in the trash. With larger quantities of oil, pour the oil into a sealed container and place it in the trash bin. Pouring FOG down your drain might cause a sewer backup in your home and may lead to a sewer spill.
Did you hear? we are offering in person tours again!
Tours offer an opportunity for customers, community groups, and local schools to meet our Field Services Technicians and learn more about the work they do and how we protect our local beaches and lagoons. If you are a teacher, consider scheduling a tour for your students. Call 760-753-0155 or email info@lwwd.org to schedule a tour.
You may have read The The San Diego Union-Tribune article and seen SeaWorld San Diego’s photos of the pregnant sea lion that was rescued after wandering onto the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's golf course before being released back into the water. This serves as a great reminder that wildlife and marine mammals are all around us, and it is our job to protect them and keep their home, the ocean, clean.

Follow the flow of your wastewater below!
California's water is a critical resource to human health, economic vitality, and the environmental quality of our state. As the drought worsens, we hope to inspire our community to be water wise and conserve water.
Safely transporting and treating the wastewater from our customers without sewer spills is the District’s number one priority. Our Field Services team works 24/7 conducting inspections and maintenance of the sewer pipes to ensure wastewater flows through the pipeline without obstruction. This summer, while video inspecting and hydro-cleaning the sewer pipe on El Camino Real, our Field Services found multiple grease balls each about two feet long at Leucadia Boulevard. These grease balls had created a blockage, with the potential to cause a sewer spill.
