The water and wastewater industry offers some of the most stable, in-demand career paths out there. Our team holds degrees, technical certifications, and years of specialized training. They operate pump stations, manage SCADA systems, and respond to emergencies 24/7.
These are careers that can’t be outsourced and won’t be replaced by AI.
Our Batiquitos pump station upgrade is nearing the finish line - painting, generator enclosure, and final testing are wrapping up. This investment ensures reliable service for our community for decades to come.
We maintain 10 pump stations across the District, each one critical to keeping wastewater flowing safely to treatment.
Our Teacher Grant winners presented at last month's Board meeting - and they blew us away.
Capri Elementary kindergartners created a PSA about storm drain pollution. Park Dome Lane's Green Team ran a 2-month experiment proving wipes don't break down. And LCC's pollinator garden now has 150+ native trees across campus.

"Flushable" wipes don't break down & Park Dome Lane Elementary students proved it! They ran a 2-month experiment and the wipes stayed fully intact. Only flush the 3 P's: pee, poop, and toilet paper. Everything else goes in the trash.

Stop by the Encinitas Ecoliteracy Fair today and say hi to LWD.
Twelve local schools will be tabling with ecosystem and environmental displays. We'll be there sharing info about our Teacher Grant Program and how students can get involved in protecting our local waterways.
See you there!
Our Field Services Technicians were invited to present at LCC's Earth Day event - sharing what it takes to protect our local waterways and showing students the real work that happens behind the scenes of a wastewater district.
From explaining how our 200+ miles of pipeline work, to answering every "what's the grossest thing you've seen?" question (there were a lot), our FSTs brought the work to life.
