VIDEO. From the Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) Director’s meeting on Thursday, October 6th, 2022 at 7:30pm by Zoom. Do you know where your poop goes?

MWSD, Clemens Heldmaier, presents. MWSD Engineer, Pippen Cavagnaro, responds to questions.

Inflow and infiltration occurs when illegal connections and cracks increase sewer flow, leading to damage and high treatment costs for sewer systems.
