Congratulations to Field Service Technician Hugo Gonzalez for being named the California Water Environment Association San Diego Section Collections System Person of the Year! Hugo has been an integral part of LWD since 2013, and this recognition is truly well-deserved. He now advances to compete for the State-level award next. Go Hugo!

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.
In case of an emergency, please call (760) 753-0155.

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!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Remember to show your pipes some love and flush responsibly ❤️

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

We have a playbook for your pipes – because nobody wants a blocked drain to ruin the perfect touchdown celebration!

Be the interception hero by cooling and containing your fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Don’t let them sneak past your defenses and clog up the drain.

Scrape all grease into a disposable can.
Let the grease cool.
Throw the can out in the trash.

Happy game day! May your team win, your snacks be endless, and your plumbing stays clog-free!
