🚰💙 Inspiring Young Water Stewards at Capri Elementary! 💙🚰

We had an amazing time at Capri Elementary’s Kindergarten Water Day, where our Field Service Technicians gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what happens to water after it leaves their sinks, showers, and toilets—all in both English and Spanish! 🌎💧

From our combination vacuum and line-cleaning truck to the closed-circuit TV robot that inspects sewer lines across northern Encinitas and southern Carlsbad, students got an up-close look at how we protect the ocean and its marine life every day. 🐠🌊

Did you know? For the past 40 years, LWD’s Gafner Water Recycling Facility has been delivering recycled water to Omni La Costa’s South Golf Legends Course.

The water is used to irrigate the grass, keeping the course lush and vibrant. Each year, we produce 80 to 100 million gallons of recycled water for the golf course, helping conserve valuable potable water resources.

Pile Driving Work at Batiquitos Lagoon to Take Place January 25-26
On Saturday, January 25, and Sunday, January 26, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Build NCC crews will perform pile driving work within the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad. Pile driving is a construction technique that allows crews to install steel beams, or “piles,” into the ground to construct a temporary work platform.

The District will be closed on January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

San Marcos Creek Crossing Diversion Project

The District recently awarded the construction contract for the San Marcos Creek Crossing Diversion project. This critical project involves rerouting the wastewater flow from 400 residences, currently serviced by a compromised pipeline in a creek crossing near the eastern edge of the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa's Legends golf course.

The wastewater will be redirected to a reinforced sewer pipeline located further east.
