EAST BAY, CA -- To commemorate 70 years of service and show appreciation for its customers, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) will hold an Open House on Saturday, July 16. The free, family-friendly event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its headquarters and treatment plant location, 5019 Imhoff Place, Martinez.
The Open House will offer a variety of fun activities (have you ever raced a toilet?), giveaways, free food, educational exhibits, big truck displays (always popular with the kids), tours of the wastewater treatment plant, live music (by local news anchor Dan Ashley’s band, PUSH), and much more.

“This is the first time Central San has hosted a public Open House like this, and we’re very excited,” said General Manager Roger Bailey. “In addition to commemorating our 70 years of service and showing people what we do, the Open House is a way for us to thank our customers for their support. Whenever they prevent grease from going down the sink, put disposable wipes in the trash instead of the toilet, or bring hazardous wastes to our collection facility, they are helping us to protect public health and the environment. We couldn’t accomplish our mission without their assistance.”
Central San provides wastewater services for more than 476,000 people in central Contra Costa County. They manage 1,500 miles of sewer pipelines and their treatment plant cleans and disinfects more than 32 million gallons of wastewater every day.

Central San also operates a Recycled Water Fill Station which offers free recycled water to residential customers, and a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. While neither facility will be open for business on July 16 due to the Open House, attendees can get a rare look inside the HHW Facility and learn what happens to all the materials people bring in for disposal.
