We are Transitioning to By-District Elections
For nearly 70 years, Goleta West Sanitary District has provided wastewater collection, treatment, and street sweeping services for residents and businesses in the Western Goleta Valley and Isla Vista. Governed by an elected board of directors, the District serves approximately 6,100 connections to over 41,000 people.
Our current board members have been elected at-large, which means voters across the entire District elected all five board members. This year, however, we are moving to a by-district election model to comply with the California Voting Rights Act. Through this process, we have divided the District into five smaller districts of similar population size and a board member will be elected from within each district. The new districts will be in place for the 2024 & 2026 elections.
