Recently, San Diego County beaches scored higher than California state averages when it came to cleanliness. Three of those high-ranking beaches happen to be in North County.
We're proud knowing that we have played a part to educate the community about the importance of keeping our beaches clean. Keep up the good work!

Thanks to local resident Aileen for this sunset shot of Ponto Beach🌅
Getting everything properly connected can seem overwhelming. Especially with stormwater versus wastewater connections. But by adhering to these basic guidelines, you’ll be on the right track. LWD maintains the wastewater (sewer) side that you see in the image.
Please contact your local city for stormwater needs or questions.
Congrats on your retirement, Richard! 🎉
Richard A. Duffey has served the Leucadia Wastewater District (LWD) with distinction for over 24 years, and retired earlier this month. Richard began his service at LWD in July 1998 as the Financial Consultant and became the full-time Administrative Services Manager in January 2016.
He has played an integral role in the District's many successes during his tenure including many clean financial audits and numerous financial awards all of which have contributed heavily to the District's excellent financial position.
We're excited to announce our new partnership with Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD)⬇️
During the Leucadia Pump Station Rehabilitation Project, OMWD assisted the District by opening a large valve that could not be opened manually, with their specialized truck that includes hydraulic valve-turning equipment. Since the District does not own this type truck or has trained staff to operate this type of equipment, we reached out to OMWD to assist us and they successfully opened the valve.
The Bureau of Reclamation​ has announced that the Leucadia Wastewater District and North San Diego Water Reuse Coalition partners were awarded over $6.1 million in federal funding to improve local water supply reliability💦
Schools from both the Encinitas Union School District and San Dieguito Union High School District have been awarded LWD grants that have helped them take steps toward more sustainable practices on campus while educating thousands of local students.
