🚨 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. 🐠🌊

Did you know? For the past 40 years, LWD’s Gafner Water Recycling Facility has been delivering recycled water to Omni La Costa’s South Golf Legends Course.

The water is used to irrigate the grass, keeping the course lush and vibrant. Each year, we produce 80 to 100 million gallons of recycled water for the golf course, helping conserve valuable potable water resources.

On Saturday, January 25, and Sunday, January 26, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Build NCC crews will perform pile driving work within the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad.
