Sacramento Area Sewer District - SacSewer

Happy ! 🌎💧🌿

At SacSewer, protecting the environment is part of our work every single day.

From responsibly collecting and treating sewage to recovering resources like recycled water, and restoring habitats in the Bufferlands and protecting local waterways, our teams work year-round to support a cleaner, healthier Sacramento region.

Environmental stewardship isn’t just one project or one day—it’s part of how we serve more than 1.6 million people across our community. ♻️

Collaboration in action! 💧🚧

SacSewer was proud to host the California Alliance for Sewer System Excellence (CASSE) Annual General Meeting, bringing together agencies committed to protecting public health, safeguarding the environment, and advancing best practices across the industry.

From drone technology and source control strategies to regulatory updates and sewer system monitoring, attendees shared knowledge and learned from one another to help strengthen the services our communities rely on every day.

A big thank you to our presenters and staff for helping make the meeting a success! 👏

Big cheers for Tilly! 👏

SacSewer recently surprised Tilly—a talented 5th grader from Oak Hill Elementary School - Otter Pups in the Center Joint Unified School District—in her classroom to celebrate her earning first place in our annual student art contest. 🏆🎨

Her artwork stood out among entries from students across the region for its imagination, artistic talent, and an important reminder for all of us: The choices we make today help shape the environment of tomorrow. 🌱

Surrounded by cheering classmates, proud parents, and teacher Mr. Patrick Muldoon, Tilly was recognized for her creative piece inspired by water, energy, environment, and agriculture—the same themes of SacSewer’s popular field trip destination, the Nicolaus Dairy, where our partners at Sacramento Splash hold Project AWE.

Collaborations like Project AWE help connect students to the important role environmental stewardship plays in protecting our communities and natural resources. This celebration was a reminder that the next generation is already thinking big about the future. To learn more about Project AWE, please visit: https://sacsplash.org/program/project-awe/

Congratulations to our talented young artist, and thank you to the teachers, families, and students who continue to inspire us through creativity and learning! 🌎
