Inextricably∞Tied


We have one source for water at present in Los Osos. Since water quality and quantity are so tightly tied to the present sewer project, and needing more of it is the reason for our future water infrastructure projects, it seemed worth a mention on this sewer blog. 

You have a new opportunity to get a water education and make suggestions on the future of our water at the Los Osos CSD's presentation of the Basin Plan by District Engineer Rob Miller on Thursday, August 29, 6:00 p.m. at the South Bay Community Center. See the announcement at this link:


As some of you may be aware, the Draft Basin Plan, which is the impetus for this meeting, has been released for public review. I doubt droves of us are going to read the 300+ page full version, but a reading of the Executive Summary is not too tough and since the costs to fix things are included, it is really worth the read. Wastewater treatment is the first part of the big picture, creating a sustainable water supply so we can continue to live here is the second.

If you want to read the entire plan, you may download the entire 10mb file at this link:


ALSO, another reason to put this information out here is to get as many of you as possible to show up at that meeting. For anyone with a vacant lot that they would like to someday build on, this meeting will be of interest. Realtors too might want to get educated. We should all care as none of us will be living here without water. 

No plans exist at this time to film the meeting (I hope that changes!), so show up to get the info yourself firsthand.

UPDATE: The meeting WILL be taped, so presumably a disc will be at the front desk some days later for home viewing.
