Did you know the small stickers on produce can create problems in the sewer system, potentially leading to clogs and extra maintenance costs?
They can also clog up recycled water irrigation systems. They can stick to the inside of your sewer pipes or clog the filters at our local treatment plant, the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility.

Follow our Instagram to learn how we collect and
transport over 4 million gallons of wastewater daily -
24/7, 365 days a year.
We will be sharing environmental
tips, photos and videos of our
wastewater process, public service
announcements, photos that you
send us, and much more.
We’re responsible for maintaining over 200 miles of sewer lines, most are located under the streets, but some run through private property.
In order to maintain pipelines on private property, the District owns easements, which are essentially paths above the sewer line that allow District staff to access the area. These paths are regularly maintained (generally twice a year) to make sure we have easy access to manholes.
A very happy Thanksgiving from the District to you and your family🦃
Remember to not pour any oil down the drain. Let it cool, than in the trash.
You don't need a sewer backup in the house during that great dinner!

Last week, MISCO Water and the District held Technology Day for vendors to showcase their advanced water and wastewater treatment equipment and other products to local wastewater and water agencies.
It was an inspiring day, as water professionals came together to discuss cutting edge technology and work together towards innovative solutions. Our state-of-the-art liquified oxygen system was showcased for how it helps to reduce odor.
