We collect and transport about 4.5 million gallons of wastewater every day. The wastewater is conveyed through the District's sewer mains and pump stations, and ultimately pumped to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility in Carlsbad. It is then treated at their facility to federally mandated standards before it is released into the ocean.  We provide this service to approximately 62,000 residents in a 16 square mile boundary that includes the original service area in Leucadia as well as the La Costa area of Carlsbad and northern Encinitas.
