Water Master Plan

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Los Osos Community Services District (LOCSD or District) supplies its customers with domestic water service and fire protection, among other services.  The District was approved by voters in November 1998 and began operations in 1999 under the Community Services District Law of the California, Government Code, §61000 et al.

The District has been under a building moratorium since 1988, and is pursuing the implementation of a community-wide wastewater project due to groundwater contamination and in response to cease and desist orders issued by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).  Commitments have been received by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to provide up to $70.5 million in funding from the State Revolving Fund program. It is expected that wastewater services will become available in late 2005, and that the building moratorium will be lifted at that time.

The District must plan water services to not only meet current demands, but to anticipate growth following the cessation of the building moratorium, and in future years to come. In order to facilitate the goals of the District to provide a plan to meet the ultimate needs of the District’s service area customers, the District has implemented this water master plan and capital improvement program.
