Upcoming 2006-2007 Projects
• Site Improvement Project - estimated to begin in spring 2007 |

Leucadia Wastewater District’s priority is protecting public
health and the environment. Regularly upgrading aging infrastructure
is a critical role for the District. District Staff, in conjunction
with a team of engineers, regularly evaluates the condition of the
pipelines and pump stations to assure that they’re in the best
working condition. This requires long-term planning and careful allocation
of resources. Below is a list of recently completed and upcoming
projects: |
Construction on the Leucadia Pump Station was

Leucadia Pump Station
Improvements
The Leucadia Pump Station is located next to the District’s headquarters
at the intersection of La Costa Avenue and El Camino Real. This 30-year-old pump
station now has a new odor control system, improved computer pump control system,
new overflow tank, four new energy efficient electric motors and pumps, and other
improved features. |

Batiquitos Pump Station Improvements
This pump station is located on Highway 101 across from the pristine Carlsbad
State Beach. Protecting the Batiquitos Lagoon and the neighboring ocean from
sewer spills at this location is a major concern for the District. Since this
is a prime recreation spot, odor control is essential too. Upgrades at this location
included rehabilitating the existing three pumps and adding a fourth pump for
redundancy and reliability, incorporating a new electronics system, installing
an odor-control system, and enhancing the aesthetics. |
