About the Goleta Sanitary District:
The Goleta Sanitary District was created in 1942 to provide wastewater collection and treatment services for the Goleta Valley. Today the District’s 132-mile long network of underground pipes deliver approximately 4 million gallons of wastewater to the District’s award-winning treatment plant every day. At the facility, wastewater is treated and cleaned to very high standards by certified staff before being reused for irrigation or discharged safely into the ocean. The District is governed by a 5 member elected Board and is committed to protecting public health and the environment through state of the art treatment processes and the delivery of cost-effective public services.
The District provides wastewater treatment services for its own customers as well as four other public entities: Goleta West Sanitary District, University of California at Santa Barbara, the City of Santa Barbara’s Municipal Airport and parts of Santa Barbara County.
