Happy Halloween from your LWD crew!

No tricks here - just treats like 24/7 sewer service, clean beaches, and a team that works behind the scenes every day to keep things flowing.

Have a safe and spooky night!

How do you inspect a major pipeline without digging?

Our B3 force main condition assessment used advanced acoustic technology to detect leaks, wall thickness, and air pockets - all from the inside.

Data-driven decisions keep your infrastructure strong for decades to come.

Rain is on the way. Is your sewer lateral ready?

LWD offers up to $3,000 to help homeowners repair or replace their private sewer lateral. A cracked lateral + heavy rain may result in potential backup.

Apply before the storms hit!

Our crews pulled a massive tangle of twine out of equipment at one of our pump stations this past Friday. Materials like this wrap around our pumps, cause costly damage, and can lead to sewer backups in your neighbourhood.

Your sewer is designed for three things: water, waste, and toilet paper. That’s it!

Twine, rope, rags, wipes - they all need to go in the trash, not down the drain. Help us protect our system and our community!

Fall brings some of the best surf of the year. Check conditions anytime with our live Ponto surf cam.

Clean beaches start with clean infrastructure. LWD keeps it flowing.

Upgrades in progress at our Diana Pump Station!

A new backup generator is being installed with a factory-tested Automatic Transfer Switch. When complete, this station will switch to backup power in seconds during an outage.

Reliable power = reliable sewer service. That’s the LWD standard.

At a Board meeting this week, we celebrated Field Services Technician III Gabriel Mendez for 15 incredible years of service with LWD.

Gabriel is one of the people working behind the scenes every day to keep our wastewater system running smoothly for the communities of Leucadia, Cardiff, and beyond.

Thank you for your dedication, Gabriel. Here’s to many more!
