It's World Oceans Month 🌊
The District is lucky to reside alongside miles of some of California's most scenic coastline- in turn we must protect & conserve it.
According to the United Nations, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished, as 90% of big fish populations are depleted, and 50% of coral reefs are destroyed.
At the District, we try to do our part by preventing sewage spills and recycling and treating wastewater, in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
Happy #ThrowbackThursday! 🔙
This photo shows the construction of the original Gafner Water Recycling Facility as two gentlemen finished the base floor of the plant’s digester.
Thanks to their hard work, the District is able to provide recycled water for irrigation at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's golf course.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our long-standing Board member Allan H. Juliussen.
Director Juliussen, served on the LWD Board of Directors from 1992- 2004, then again from 2005-2021. He served for several years as President of LWD's Governing Board and actively participated as a member of LWD's Engineering Committee, as well as the Community Affairs Committee.
Happy Father's Day 👔
Many of our staff and Field Services Technicians are fathers, so we want to give a special shoutout to these hardworking dads today and everyday.
The District hopes you are celebrated and honored today!

Staying in the loop has never been easier 💧
Traffic Alert June 14 - June 17 along La Costa Avenue between Piraeus Street and Saxony Road.
This week our Field Service Technicians (FSTs) will be conducting regularly scheduled maintenance using robotics cameras in the sewer lines looking for root invasion/blockages and cleaning any needed areas. This keeps our communities clean and our waterways pristine.
Please drive carefully and thank you for your patience.
Did you hear the news?💧
The governor recently extended emergency drought orders to many counties across the state.
In order to conserve water, the California Native Plant Society - San Diego Chapter made a list of useful resources including information on watershed gardening, rainwater harvesting, and much more!
