John Alexander Alexander, 99 of Cayucos died March 2, 2017.
Dr. Alexander was famous during the Los Osos Sewer Wars for stating that we did not need a sewer.
"...if anyone could help me it would be Dr. Alexander. His research and development firm had developed waste water treatment plants throughout the world, including Australia, Israel and South America, just to name a few. Dr. Alexander advised me that he would be willing to help us in any way he could. However, he said before he would advise us that Los Osos really did not need a sewer. He proceeded to explain in great detail why Los Osos did not need a sewer plant. The crux of his explanation was that Los Osos had a God-given filtration plant built right into its soil."http://www.rockofthecoast.com/2009/11/24/cdo-threat-exacts-heavy-human-toll-on-los-osos/

RIP sewer warrior. I was on the opposite side of his stance of course, but found him to be a compelling figure.
