🚧🔧 Leucadia Wastewater District’s Field Services Team Upgrades Leucadia Pump Station! 🔧🚧

Our dedicated Field Services Team (FST) recently completed the replacement of the Muffin Monster at the Leucadia Pump Station. This essential equipment is a powerful grinder designed to shred tough solids, such as branches, plastics, and other debris, that enter our sewer lines. By effectively reducing these materials, the Muffin Monster safeguards our pumps and ensures the smooth operation of the wastewater treatment process.
