Our team installed new Surge Buster check valves at Encinitas Estates pump station. After four months: zero rags, zero buildup inside. Traditional valves? Clogged in three days.
Each pump now moves 15-20 more gallons per minute using less energy. Smarter infrastructure for a cleaner system.
September is National Preparedness Month and LWD stays ready year-round. From backup generators at pump stations to 24/7 alarm monitoring and on-call crews, we plan for the unexpected.

How do you inspect a pipeline without digging it up? You send in a Smart Ball.
This month, a specialized acoustic sensor ball will travel through our B3 force main - detecting leaks, air pockets, and wall thickness from the inside. It’s cutting-edge condition assessment.
Technology keeps your system strong - from the inside out.
Our crews recently pulled these out of pumps at Batiquitos and Diana Pump Stations. Although labeled "flushable" wipes don't break down like toilet paper. They tangle, clog pumps, and cause backups that can affect YOUR home.
Help us protect our community. No wipes down the pipes. lwwd.org/community-info/what-2-flush

Congratulations to our Administrative Services Supervisor, Trisha Hill, on 25 years of service to LWD!
Trisha was recognized at a recent Board meeting for a quarter century of dedication to our district and the community we serve.
Thank you, Trisha. Here’s to many more!
LWD has maintained a zero-spill record for more than six consecutive years. While overflows make headlines elsewhere, our team quietly keeps the system running - every shift, every day.
