Every pipe we inspect, every pump station we maintain, and every spill we prevent keeps our coastline clean. 6+ years of zero sewer spills means healthier beaches for everyone.

Did you know? Storm drains and sewer lines are two completely separate underground pipe systems, managed by different agencies.

Sewer System (LWD): Carries wastewater from your home to a treatment facility. Everything gets treated before it goes anywhere near the ocean.
Storm Drains (individual cities): Carries rainwater and street runoff directly to the ocean - no treatment.

That’s why anything that goes into a storm drain - oil, trash, pet waste - goes straight to our waterways. And it’s why we do smoke testing and pipeline inspections to keep these systems separate.

You won’t believe what our crews find in the pipes.
This spring alone: tree branches pulled from a sewer main, abandoned bathroom connections causing water backup, and illegal drains hooked into the system. Each one is a potential blockage - or worse, a spill near an environmentally sensitive area.
Our team investigates every issue with CCTV cameras and sometimes confined space entry to remove obstructions by hand.

Our team finished this critical upgrade of Batiquitos Pump Station - concrete repairs, generator relocation, new access hatch, and epoxy coating - all under budget. Investments like this keep our system reliable for decades to come.

We maintain 10 pump stations across the District, each one essential to protecting public health and our local waterways.

Beach season is officially here. Check surf conditions before you head out!
LWD's Ponto Beach surf cam has been running for 15+ years and is the most visited page on our website. Why does a wastewater district have a surf cam? Because protecting the coastline is our job.
