The Ojai Valley Sanitary
District participates in activities other than its primary jobs of collecting
and treating wastewater. As a good neighbor, we want to help our customers
understand how water is recycled and how byproducts are beneficially used.
In addition, we want to help those with sewage collection problems.
It is the policy of the District to encourage the following:
- Treament plant
visits by students and other groups for a learning experience and the
dissemination of educational materials, including videos of collection
system and treatment plant operations.
- Cooperation with
university research teams to promote development of improved treatment
processes.
- Providing good
quality compost to the public during those dry months when one of the
plant's byproducts (biosolids) can be dried enough to make composting
possible. This is a give-away provided by the District to recycle a
useful material.
- Inspection of laterals
(the pipes from a building to the street) during their initial installation,
to be sure the work and materials meet specification.
- Checking sewer
stoppages to determine if the problem is in privately owned pipes or
in District-owned pipes, and giving advice regarding repair of the private
problems.
- Speaking to community
groups to foster understanding of the District’s problems, accomplishments
and goals.
- Working with property owners and communities to make health-improving changes, including technical improvements and the expanding of sewer service through extension of areas covered to eliminate septic system use and its environmental impacts.
