The District has a robust Outreach and Public Education program. We believe in making learning fun. In addition to offering tours to school and community groups, the District has hosted an award winning open house which is free to the public. We also participate in local festivals and events including Earth Day and the Goleta Lemon Festival. Visitors spin the wheel of water to demonstrate their knowledge of the District for prizes!  Staff love interacting with the public and sharing our passion for sustainability and environmental protection.

Lunch Bunch with the Fun in the Sun Crew/Tours

Annually a team of employees from Goleta Sanitary District heads over to El Camino Elementary School to educate students on wastewater treatment and resource recovery efforts as part of the United Way of Santa Barbara County's Fun in the Sun summer learning program. We also play games with the kids, share lunch, and talk about our jobs. Who knows, maybe some of the graduates of Fun in the Sun may work at the District one day! We also have had the Fun in the Sun attendees tour the District. Tours are available on a limited basis to school groups, scout troops, and other community organizations. For more information, visit the tours page.
