You're Invited to Visit Us!
Due to the ongoing coronavirus health crisis, we are closed for in-person tours. But please check out these brief introductory virtual tour videos of the process and functions of wastewater collection, treatment, and nutrient recapture. As soon as we are able, we'll re-open for public tours, and if you have any questions, please email Laura Romano at the link below.
Virtual Tour Videos
The Goleta Sanitary District serves over 80,000 residents and businesses in the Goleta Valley. We collect, treat, and reclaim resources from wastewater on a daily basis. The average flow of wastewater is about 4.5 million gallons a day, and we produce an average of 300 million gallons of reclaimed water a year for landscape purposes, saving precious drinking water for the community. The order of the videos approximates the collection and treatment process. Videos will be added and updated, so stay tuned! We hope you enjoy this introductory virtual tour.
