OCEANO, Calif. The long-planned Central Coast Blue project in the Five Cities is moving closer to reality.
The project would create a regional recycled water facility to provide a sustainable water supply and protect the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin. Basically, we re trying to expand our water supply, said Pismo Beach Mayor Ed Waage. During the last drought, we came really close to losing two of our water supplies. With Central Coast Blue, this adds an additional water supply and this will also help protect our groundwater supply.
It s a collaborative effort between several agencies, including the cities of Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, and Grover Beach, plus the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District and Oceano Community Services District.
