The Costa Mesa Sanitary District is a California-based government administration agency that provides solid waste and wastewater collection services to Costa Mesa and surrounding areas, including small portions of Newport Beach and unincorporated Orange County. Operating as an independent special district governed by a five-member elected board, it serves a community of about 118,000 residents and aims to uphold high standards of customer service, transparency, innovation, and fiduciary responsibility. The district’s mission centers on protecting public health and the environment for current and future generations, with a vision of a community free from solid waste and wastewater pollution. Located in Costa Mesa, the District is part of the broader regional landscape of utility and environmental services. It has earned recognition as a District of Distinction, reflecting its emphasis on governance excellence and public service. A notable development in its recent history is the merger with Mesa Water in 2020, a change that affected service and customer options in the area. The organization operates within the government administration sector, focusing on essential municipal services for its constituent population.
