History
Midway City Sanitary District, as originally formed, had a
service territory between Hazard to the north, Newland to the east, Sugar
(McFadden) to the south and Eucalyptus (Beach Blvd.) to the west. Currently,
the service area covers 10.4 square miles and provides service to all
Westminster and Midway City residents and businesses.

the Midway City Sanitary District was held at the Fire Hall in Midway
City.

were distributed to all houses and places of business within the District.
- In
1949 the Board meetings were held at 14842 (209) Monroe Street in Midway
City.

its entire operation to 14451 Cedarwood Ave. in Westminster the same
place it resides today.
- In 1994, the District changed the way Solid
Waste was picked up, by investing $5,000,000 to go automated, and in
doing so, effectively diverted 59% of the solid waste from the landfill.
- In
1998 the District built their new headquarters at 14451 Cedarwood Ave.
and did so without borrowing or increasing user fees. The District
also started its decade long sewer improvements, which included Closed
Circuit Television Inspection to locate repairs.
- From 1999 to 2010 the District has invested
over $19,500,000 in to its sewer system, which includes new dual force
mains and the rehabilitation and facility improvements to all four
lift stations. All of this was mandated by the State and unfunded.
The Board of Directors and the dedicated District employees of MCSD
help keep both the City of Westminster and Midway City a clean and safe
place to live, by successfully reducing the number of sewer spills, providing
residents with solid waste containers and providing special programs.
The service the District provides to the people of Westminster and Midway
City is second to none.
