Did You Know?
Those tiny stickers on fruits and veggies can cause BIG problems for our sewer systems and treatment plant filters!
🥒🍎🚫
Help us keep things flowing smoothly and avoid costly repairs by tossing those stickers in the trash—not down the sink or toilet! 💧🗑️

San Marcos Creek Crossing Diversion Project
The District recently awarded the construction contract for the San Marcos Creek Crossing Diversion project. This critical project involves rerouting the wastewater flow from 400 residences, currently serviced by a compromised pipeline in a creek crossing near the eastern edge of the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa's Legends golf course.
The wastewater will be redirected to a reinforced sewer pipeline located further east.

Maintaining Easements with Field Services Technicians
Check out our video showcasing our dedicated Field Services Technicians (FSTs) in action as they clean up an easement in a local canyon. In this video you'll learn how our FSTs maintain easements by clearing debris periodically. This is important, so they can easily access manholes for maintenance and emergencies. It's a true testament to the power of teamwork and environmental stewardship!
Our utmost priority is collecting and transporting wastewater in a safe, reliable, efficient, cost efffective and environmentally responsible manner for our customers and to protect our local beaches and lagoons from sewage spills.
Recently at our Board meeting, we were recognized for not having a sewer spill in the last 5 years! Thank you to our team for working hard to prevent spills and to the community for disposing of waste properly.
