Newest Baseline Groundwater Quality Report Posted

Posted Friday off the County's LOWWP website, this report is the latest in a series of semi-annual groundwater quality water reports required by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. R3-2011-0001).

Perhaps the most relevant sentence in the entire report,
Seventeen of the 26 wells exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for drinking water standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of 10 mg/L N, and one well was equal to the MCL.
Those few doubters who still (amazingly) think we don't need a sewer to clean up part of the only source of water we have that we are wasting and are unable to use, thereby seriously depleting the other part due to overuse, please read the report off this link below and educate yourselves:

Personal note to explain my blogging absence; a death in my family. 
I am relieved to have the peace of mind now to continue here.
