Happy America Recycles Day♻️

Individual recycling action and behavior are themes of this year’s America Recycles Day®, a Keep America Beautiful national program and the only nationally-recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States.

In its 23rd year, America Recycles Day (ARD), Nov. 15, educates people about the importance of recycling to our economy and environmental well-being and helps to motivate occasional recyclers to become everyday recyclers.

Harvest Your Rain, Not Down The Drain🌧

With the rainy season coming up, now is a good time to be water smart. This includes making sure you don’t have any illegal connections where rainwater and stormwater may flow into the sewer line. You should also adjust your sprinklers accordingly and take advantage of the opportunity to harvest rainwater with assistance from local rebates from the Solana Center & San Diego County Water Authority.

Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸 Our District is incredibly grateful to all military men and women who have served - and continue to serve - our community, a few of which are part of our team. Thank you to all veterans for your sacrifice to keep us safe! #VeteransDay

Have you ever wondered how large of an impact flushing wet wipes has on US clean water facilities?

Although the package reads "flushable", wet wipes clog pipes, negatively affecting the sewer system. In 2019, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), along with other water associations, conducted a nationwide study of the impact of wet wipes on the operating costs of America’s clean water agencies. The study found that wipes result in $441 million a year in additional operating costs at US clean water utilities.
