From A Once Sewer Problem Spot - The Key West Sewer!

Yes, little, tiny 1 mile by 4 mile Key West has a sewer! And has had one a lot sooner than that certain central coast town that was referred to in this blog's name. But that sewer was not without its own horrid fight.

The article linked below says it all, and we might appreciate the scope and cost of their $1 billion sewer project. FYI, in 1889 Key West was the largest and wealthiest city in Florida (unlike Los Osos in California, which has not hit that mark and likely never will):

Happy expansion of your sewer education!

Hook-Up Enforcement Withdrawn!

The numbers have shrunk as to how many households are yet to hook up to our sewer. A huge delay was the sluggishness of getting the funding for those who qualified. They have been waiting patiently. There was actually supposed to be a Board of Supervisor's meeting about this on November 14, which is why I was looking tonight to see the agenda and support documents. But alas, I missed it by a week, it was to have been on the agenda November 7, and then, at the last minute it was pulled. You can see it in the original removal off of this link:

But I can show you a photo here below. If will try to be more on top of this. The sewage story around here is so quiet, I forget about it sometimes.......

Community Funds Available For Sewer Hook-ups!

I attended the Los Osos CSD meeting tonight. General Manager Renee Osborn reported that there were funds from the Community Fund Low Income Assistance Program to help the approximately 245 residents that had not hooked up to do so (unless some in that number are making a political statement by not hooking upon course....).

Access the webpage that explains what this is with a link to the application:

To read a bit more about it, read Ms. Osborn's report:

More information will be forthcoming from the County and other agencies.
