We are proud to announce a major operational milestone - five consecutive years without a single sewer spill!
This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to system reliability, proactive maintenance, and environmental protection. LWD’s dedicated Field Services team works tirelessly to keep our system running smoothly, inspecting and maintaining over 200 miles of pipeline to prevent overflows and disruptions.
Our Field Services team has gone 3 full years without a single vehicle accident while logging over 10,000 hours annually on the road.
The Field Services team of 13 professionals operating 8 vehicles and logging over 10,000 hours on the road each year. This achievement is a testament to their skill, vigilance, and commitment to safety.
A big shoutout to Ryan Rodriguez, Field Services Technician, for 10 years of dedicated service at LWD! From emergency responses to routine inspections, Ryan plays a key role in keeping our community’s wastewater system running smoothly-and safely.
Thank you, Ryan, for your hard work, expertise, and commitment over the past decade!
Starting this month, LWD's office will close at 4:30 PM on Fridays. This change applies to Fridays only - all other weekday hours will remain the same.
We’re committed to continuing to provide high-quality service and support to our community. For emergency services outside of business hours, please call (760) 753-0155.
Thank you for your understanding!
In observance of the July 4th holiday, the District will be closed this Friday, July 4. For wastewater emergencies during this time, please call (760) 753-0155.
Wishing you and your family a happy and safe 4th of July!
With deep appreciation, we remember Judy Hanson, LWD’s longest-serving Board Member and a lifelong champion for public service.
Judy served our community for 40 years - from employee to Board President - helping shape LWD into a leader in wastewater management and regional collaboration. Her dedication extended far beyond the District: volunteering at local hospitals and libraries, and serving on multiple regional boards.
Thank you, Judy, for your legacy of leadership, kindness, and commitment. You will be greatly missed.
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the San Marcos Creek Crossing Diversion Project, an essential infrastructure improvement designed to protect local waterways and ensure long-term wastewater system reliability.
This critical project rerouted wastewater flow from approximately 400 residences that were connected to a compromised pipeline crossing the San Marcos Creek. By redirecting flows to a reinforced sewer pipeline further east, we eliminated the risk of a sewer spill into the creek, safeguarding both the environment and public health.
We are set to begin construction on the Rancho Verde Pump Station. Built 29 years ago, the pump station will be retrofitted with new electrical and mechanical components, and other general site improvements.
These upgrades will help prevent system failures and ensure continued top-quality service for the community. Residents may notice increased activity in the area for about 4 months during construction, and rest assured that we are working hard to minimize disruptions.
