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.
Congratulations to Jeffrey - named Collection Person of the Year by the California Water Environment Association (CWEA)!
This award recognizes the professionals who keep sewer collection systems running safely and efficiently - the crews who are on call 24/7 to protect public health and the environment.
Jeffrey represents the dedication and expertise of our entire Field Services team. We’re proud to have him on the LWD crew!
Happy Earth Day 2026 from LWD!
Did you know more than 180 species of birds have been documented in the Batiquitos Lagoon - right here in our service area?
Protecting places like Batiquitos and San Elijo Lagoons starts with the work we do every day. From inspecting pipes to maintaining pump stations and conducting smoke testing, our team is committed to keeping our wastewater system efficient and environmentally responsible.
Happy Administrative Professionals Day!
Behind every smooth-running operation is an admin team that keeps everything moving and LWD is no exception. From managing customer calls and coordinating Board meetings to processing permits and keeping our office running day-in and day-out, our admin professionals are the backbone of the District. Thank you to our entire admin team for your dedication, attention to detail, and the countless ways you support our crews, our Board, and our ratepayers. We appreciate you!
