Central San ride along IHT
Here’s something a little different. Our local sewer agency “Contra Costa Central Sanitation” aka “Central San” is sponsoring a ride on April 14 from Pleasant Hill BART station South along the Iron Horse Trail to Alamo.

For 21 miles, the Iron Horse Trail pedestrian and bicycling path follows one of Central San’s sewer lines—nearly the entirety of the flow from the southeastern-most corner of our service area in San Ramon all the way to our treatment plant in Martinez.
This path allows us to take our customers on a bicycling tour of a portion of our sewer service area, highlighting pieces of wastewater infrastructure along the way. This bicycling tour is built upon our Go With The Flow Map, designed to help our customers see (and sometimes hear) the flow of wastewater that follows the Iron Horse Trail throughout Contra Costa County.
You Can Check Out The Full Map Here: GO WITH THE FLOW
In addition to our tour, you can use the interactive map to view prominent access covers, convenient entry points to the trail, and information about what’s happening just below ground! By following the map, you can walk, bike, or run the path of wastewater from your home, school, office, all the way to our treatment plant!
