Upgrades in progress at our Diana Pump Station!
A new backup generator is being installed with a factory-tested Automatic Transfer Switch. When complete, this station will switch to backup power in seconds during an outage.
Reliable power = reliable sewer service. That’s the LWD standard.
At a Board meeting this week, we celebrated Field Services Technician III Gabriel Mendez for 15 incredible years of service with LWD.
Gabriel is one of the people working behind the scenes every day to keep our wastewater system running smoothly for the communities of Leucadia, Cardiff, and beyond.
Thank you for your dedication, Gabriel. Here’s to many more!

It’s how we extend the life of your sewer system while minimizing disruption to your neighborhood.
What. A. Day!
