We recently received a bundle of heartfelt thank-you letters from the students at La Costa Heights Elementary - and wow, did they make our week!
They reminded us why we do what we do. One student even called us the “Water Protectors” - and honestly, we’re honored to wear that title!
A huge thank you to the amazing students and teachers for taking the time to share your appreciation. We're always here to keep your water clean, safe, and sustainable.
Recently, the LWD team visited our neighbors at San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (SEJPA) for a tour of their newly upgraded Moonlight Beach Pump Station.
As operators of several pump stations ourselves, it was valuable to see innovative infrastructure in action and exchange ideas with fellow water professionals.
A big thank you to SEJPA for the warm welcome and knowledge-sharing! Collaborations like this strengthen our efforts to serve and protect our communities.
LWD recently visited La Costa Heights Elementary to teach students one of the most important sewer system rules: Only water belongs down the drain!
The live demos showed students how we use cameras to inspect pipes and keep water flowing underground, not bubbling up where it shouldn't be! And they had some amazing questions for our team… future wastewater engineers in the making? We think so!
Watch the full video recap here:
Through a blend of literature, science, and art, students at La Costa Heights Elementary are learning how their everyday actions can make a big difference for the planet.
With support from LWD’s Teacher Grant Program, this project empowers young minds to build sustainable habits, think creatively, and become proud stewards of their environment.

Between May 13 and May 14, LWD crews will be conducting CCTV inspection and line cleaning work on Rancho Santa Fe Road between the streets of Paseo Lupino and La Costa Ave.
This routine maintenance is critical to ensuring the continued health and reliability of our wastewater system. During this period, nearby residents and businesses may notice intermittent equipment noise, flashing lights, or brief traffic impacts as crews access sewer lines and manholes in the area.
Get ready to be inspired! In this student-produced news report, Capri Elementary students take the lead in telling the story of their Water Day adventures - a day filled with learning, action, and environmental stewardship!
Thanks to a grant from LWD, these kindergartners learned how small actions - like picking up trash and planting thoughtfully - make a big difference in protecting our ocean and community.
Big win for LWD-again! 🎉
