Replacing Critical Infrastructure Before It Fails
Rancho Verde Pump Station Rehabilitation Project
This pump station was constructed 28 years ago and the project includes a complete overhaul of mechanical, electrical, drainage and site layout.
The project also includes vehicle access improvements to the site. This upgrade will ensure the pump station continues to maintain peak performance and avoid sewer spills.
The construction is expected to begin between Spring 2025 and Summer 2025.

Fiscal Year 2024 Manhole Rehabilitation Project
The District maintains over 5,000 sewer manholes that allow for access and maintenance of our pipes. This project includes the repair of 75 sewer manholes throughout our service area. These repairs will ensure that the sewer manholes, which are most often constructed using concrete, are structurally sound and will eliminate any root intrusion or groundwater intrusion that can enter through cracks or joints.

Replacing Critical Infrastructure Before It Fails
San Marcos Creek Pipeline Crossing Emergency Repair
In December 2023, the District completed emergency repairs to fortify a sewer pipeline crossing San Marcos Creek on the eastern edge of the La Costa Resort and Spa south golf course.
The pipeline became exposed in the creek, making it susceptible to damage by debris during storm events. When built, the pipeline was three feet under the creek bed. Over time, the pipeline was undercut by erosion and was suspended mid stream.
