Learn how science teacher, June Honsberger, will utilize her Teacher Grant this year at La Costa Canyon High School 🍎

This water use project will have students design and plant trees in an unused space to create an outdoor classroom. When students return to campus, outdoor spaces will be used as classrooms.

The science students will research native trees to discover which varieties will grow in our climate and how to maintain them. Once students return to campus, they will plant the trees and assemble the work tables/benches.

Our community continues to blow us away with the breathtaking photos they take of our community 🌅

Local resident, Tom Mills, recently sent in a stunning photo of this hummingbird drinking nectar.

Congratulations to our Teacher Grant Recipients! 🍎

In December, we awarded $5,336 in teacher grants to fund three water/wastewater projects to local schools in our service area.

We had some excellent submissions this last Fall and are pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 Teacher Grant Program: June Honsberger of La Costa Canyon High School, Nancy Jois of Capri Elementary, and Jennifer Smith of El Camino Creek Principal.

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 is continuing its gravity sewer repairs to keep our infrastructure up to date. To complete this work, we will be closing 600 feet of trail that begins at Rancho Santa Fe Road and Camino De Los Coches parallel to Quebrada Circle starting December 28th and completing work by March 31, 2021. As part of the work, the vegetation and shrubs will be removed to access the pipeline.

Thank you for your cooperation in advance. For any additional questions, please email info@lwwd.org.

For the last 10+ years, the District has annually granted money to local teachers to help support hands-on environmental education projects with a focus on water resource management.

Last year, the District awarded 3 grants to June Honsberger of La Costa Canyon High School, Nancy Jois of Capri Elementary, and Jennifer Smith of El Camino Creek Principal.

Just as fat accumulates and causes blockages in human arteries, oil and grease solidifies and accumulates in household pipes, restricting the flow of wastewater and causing sewer backups and overflows.

Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) include animal and vegetable oils/fats used to cook and prepare food. Examples include cooking oil, butter, lard, shortening, margarine, gravy, sauces, meats, sour cream and mayonnaise.
