Happy #ThrowbackThursday! 🔙
This photo shows the construction of the original Gafner Water Recycling Facility as two gentlemen finished the base floor of the plant’s digester.
Thanks to their hard work, the District is able to provide recycled water for irrigation at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's golf course.

Staying in the loop has never been easier 💧
Traffic Alert June 14 - June 17 along La Costa Avenue between Piraeus Street and Saxony Road.
This week our Field Service Technicians (FSTs) will be conducting regularly scheduled maintenance using robotics cameras in the sewer lines looking for root invasion/blockages and cleaning any needed areas. This keeps our communities clean and our waterways pristine.
Please drive carefully and thank you for your patience.
