The District is specifically responsible for nearly nine (9) miles of trunk main and sewer lines from the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and the Oceano Community Services District. District employees are on duty protecting your health and safety by ensuring that the sewer system operates efficiently 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. The District remains cognizant of three basic principles when approaching a new technology that may improve plant effectiveness:
- The District looks to save District funds by empowering staff to be creative and innovative in solutions to problems.
- The District looks to save District funds by maintaining the physical plant on a regular basis, completing projects as needed and proactively.
