Every oil change, inspection, and tune-up is important work here at the District.

Preventive maintenance like this is part of the constant work happening behind the scenes to keep the plant running. Here, Mechanics Lubrication Technician Chip and Apprentice Mechanic Rigo change the oil on an aeration tank pump, one of hundreds of preventive maintenance tasks that happen every year.

Cleaning the combination air/vacuum release valves along our force mains is part of the regular preventative maintenance our Collection System Services team performs quarterly.

To do this work, the crew has to go down into the manhole, remove the existing air release valve, replace it with a clean air release valve, then bring it back to the shop where it is pressure-washed to remove buildup of fats, oils and grease (FOGs).

This ensures that the valves can keep venting the air that can build up in our force mains, which can cause corrosion within the pipeline and reduce pumping efficiency.

Swap. Wash. Repeat. 🔧

Properly disposing of FOGs helps us keep things running and protect our infrastructure and your pipes. Never put fats, oils or grease down drains or in toilets.

When it comes to pollution, prevention is key!

This is an important aspect of all work that takes place in the District, so much so that we have a team dedicated to reducing, eliminating, and preventing pollutants like salt, mercury, pharmaceuticals and more before it even reaches our treatment plant.

Our Pollution Prevention team works upstream in our communities to protect public health and the environment. Thank you to our Pollution Prevention team, Martye, Kathy, Catherine, Emily, and Camila for this important work!

Meet Samantha Wills, Hauled Waste & Acceptance Coordinator at the District!

Samantha runs our septage receiving program and works with waste haulers and pumping companies who serve residents throughout the District and beyond.

Septage haulers are required to have permits before delivering waste, and Samantha manages the permitting process and service charges, ensuring everything stays in compliance and the treatment plant can keep running smoothly.

Thanks, Samantha, for keeping this critical part of our operation running smoothly!
