Sea Pines Sewer Bill Mystery!

I was at the LOCAC meeting, 7:00 p.m., July 22, 2021 when Julie Tacker brought up Sea Pines Golf Resort's lost sewer bill being discussed at Tuesdays Board of Supes meeting! Thank you for the tip Julie! The bill, $238,958.59, was somehow lost and they were never charged! Ouch! I'm glad that they will get a payment plan, but that is a lot of golf games, beer, and hamburgers that will need to be sold! I will help them out with hamburgers, but I prefer Martinis! I haven't played golf since high school. However, if they put in a miniature golf course......!

Here are the intriguing documents!

NEW! July 1-RWQCB Notice On Termination Of Water Reclamation Requirements - Sea Pines!

I got this email notification from the Regional Water Quality Control Board on July 1 at 4:40 p.m. and it gave me the link below. Look at the top, tentative order:

https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralcoast/board_decisions/tentative_orders/

You can go to the first link (to the Notice of Public Hearing) and read about the opportunity to make a public comment here:

https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralcoast/board_decisions/tentative_orders/2021/R3_2021_0049notice.pdf

"DRAFT ORDER NO. R3-2021-0049 FOR TERMINATION OF ORDER NO. 93-82, WATER RECLAMATION REQUIREMNTS FOR BSR, A GENRAL PARTNERSHIP, SEA PINES GOLF COURSE, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY (PRIMARY USER OF RECYCLED WATER)"

This is all sort of hilarious, not just because of the typo, but because,

"Order No. 93-82 is no longer needed because the Monarch Grove Reclamation Facility is no longer in existence and does not produce recycled water." 

August 27, 2019 the County had a valve turning ceremony to give Sea Pines water recycled from the sewer plant. Oh well, better late than never I guess! I wrote about it here: http://losewersaga.blogspot.com/2019/08/valve-turning-ceremony-today.html

Here is the draft order:

And here is the draft staff report - by far the most interesting part of this!

https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralcoast/board_decisions/tentative_orders/2021/R3_2021_0049staffreport.pdf

In that report, we have a discrepancy as to when the recycled water was delivered:

"On June 10, 2019, the Los Osos Water Recycling Facility began delivery of the recycled water to the Sea Pines Golf Course for irrigation."

Hmmmmmm.
