Thank you to Director Matt Brown for his years of service!

During Director Brown's tenure on the Board of Directors, LWD maintained one of the lowest wastewater service fees in San Diego County while providing an extremely high level of service to LWD's customers.

With all the rain we’ve had recently, are you making sure you are rain ready? 🌧️

Below is a checklist of ways to prepare for upcoming rainfall:

✅ Start capturing rainwater now for later use! This reduces runoff to the ocean, ​​keeping harmful pollutants from reaching beaches and waterways.

✅ Proactively turn off irrigation to save water and minimize runoff.

✅ Do not open or lift manhole covers in the event of street flooding.

A well-deserved congratulations to Field Services Supervisor Gabriel Mendez for receiving his Grade 4 Collection System Maintenance certification from the California Water Environment Association!

Gabe, who was recently promoted to his supervisory role, has been working hard on his own time for this achievement while maintaining his full time duties at LWD since September 2011.

We are grateful to Gabe in his dedication to keeping our community safe and clean.

Happy New Year! 🎉

#NewYearsEve is a great time for a resolution to help protect our environment, so don't forget to do your part to protect the coast by canning your FOGs (cooking fat, oil, and grease), and ensuring you only flush the 3 Ps - pee, poo, and (toilet) paper!

The District will be closed Monday January 2, 2022. In case of an emergency, please call (760) 753-0155.

Happy Holidays from Leucadia Wastewater District!

The District will be closed Monday December 26, 2022. In case of an emergency, please call (760) 753-0155.

With the holidays approaching, there’s sure to be cooking and baking with plenty of oil.

The correct way to dispose of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) is by letting them cool, pouring them in a can, sealing the can with a lid, and then throwing it in the trash. With larger quantities of oil, pour the oil into a sealed container and place it in the trash bin. Pouring FOG down your drain might cause a sewer backup in your home and may lead to a sewer spill.
