We are happy to report that the District was able to provide a sewer lateral grant to Carlsbad resident, Anne-Marie Wish. She had a recent lateral rehabilitation project and our grant program offset some construction costs.

She experienced a blockage in her private sewer lateral from an offset joint and root intrusion near the connection to the public sewer system. Fortunately, Ms. Wish did not have a sewer backup in her house and was able to contact a plumbing company to remediate the issue by digging down to the offset joint and making a repair.

Applications are open for the California Special District Association Districts Make a Difference Video Contest. Eligible students from grades K-12 can create and submit 60 second video to show how special districts play an important role as the backbone of our everyday life. Winners in grades 9-12 are eligible for cash prizes. Applications are due March 31 and details can be found at the link below.

Congratulations to Field Service Technician Hugo Gonzalez for being named the California Water Environment Association San Diego Section Collections System Person of the Year!

The District is proud to announce a milestone achievement of over four years without a sewer spill, underscoring our commitment to protecting the local environment, personal property, and public assets.

Despite the challenges posed by heavy rains, which can enter the sewer system causing stress on our infrastructure, our team has successfully maintained stable flow without any incidents.

This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work of our District staff and the community's diligence in minimizing water runoff into the sewer system.

Congratulations and farewell to Field Services Technician, Steve Krason. The District extends its deepest gratitude and appreciation for Steve's twenty-three years of exemplary service and outstanding dedication. We wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.

Steve has been recognized as the District's 'pump station guru,' generously sharing his knowledge and expertise by training our entire field services staff on the operation and maintenance of the pump stations, significantly enhancing our team's capabilities and efficiency.

Congratulations to Director of Technical Services Robin Morishita for his 20 years of service! Robin has dedicated his time at our District towards a proactive program of upgrading critical infrastructure before it fails. Thanks for your leadership and dedication to our District and community Robin!

The District is closed today in observance of the Presidents' Day holiday.

The District recently participated in Capri Elementary’s Kindergarten Water Day by showcasing how our trucks play a vital role in protecting our pipes and infrastructure below the streets. Our Field Service Technicians (FSTs) gave a live demo in both English and Spanish to the students who asked a number of great questions.

This was in support of Capri winning a 2024 Teacher Grant from the District. We are proud to support wastewater education!
