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.
Congratulations are in order! 🎉At our last board meeting, we gave out awards to some of our talented staff.

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, it's time to decrease your outdoor watering and adjust to your irrigation timers. With slower evaporation and reduced transpiration, your plants need less moisture!

If you're cooking or baking any yummy treats with fats, oils or grease (FOG)- make sure you know what to do with the FOG! Here's a refresher, below ⬇️
Let FOG cool, pour them in a can, and seal the can with a lid. Pouring FOG down your drain can potentially cause a sewer backup in your home and may lead to a sewer spill.
Write to us at info@lwwd.org to get your own can topper and celebrate in style while doing your part to protect the local community.
