Workplace safety metrics stay strong despite uptick as District plans facility-wide public address system
The District's 2.9 recordable injury rate remains well below the 4.8 industry average, with 282 lost workdays concentrated in plant operations due to two overexertion injuries.
Why it matters: A pending Cal/OSHA appeal from the 2024 arc flash incident and a new facility-wide public address system represent the District's most significant near-term safety investments.

District escalates opposition to housing permit bills as PFAS and water reuse measures advance
The Board shifted three legislative positions—supporting a water reuse loan bill and a PFAS fertilizer bill while opposing AB 1997's county development coordinator mandate.
Why it matters: Multiple housing permit-streamlining bills threaten to let cities override independent utility district authority; District Counsel noted problematic bills would likely face litigation even if passed.

Board confirms 4% sewer rate increase as staff warns of rising capital costs and potential bond acceleration

Why it matters: Staff revealed capital pressures $25M above plan for next year and $140M over 10 years, with future rate increases likely at 5% and a bond offering accelerated two years to 2028-29.

Board approves $13M for MABR nutrient management demonstration on consent
The Board authorized a $5.5M construction change order with C. Overaa & Co. and a $7.5M supplemental capital budget to complete a membrane aerated biofilm reactor demonstration system.
Why it matters: MABR results expected this fall could dramatically reduce the District's placeholder $500M nutrient compliance cost estimate, making this demonstration project a pivotal investment.
Miramonte High School senior Mifay Liu presented a low-cost, solar-powered spiral wound device that recovers ammonia from multiple wastewater types to produce fertilizer.
Why it matters: The District faces an estimated $500M nutrient management compliance cost; scalable ammonia recovery technology developed locally could eventually contribute to cost-effective solutions.

Central San Marks 28th Straight Year of 100% NPDES Compliance
The treatment plant processed 13.4 billion gallons in 2025 with zero permit violations, qualifying for a 28th consecutive NACWA Platinum award.
Why it matters: The 28-year streak — over 245,000 continuous hours of compliance — is nationally elite and shields the District from federal enforcement and third-party lawsuits.
