Projects on the front burner right now include the pending community referendum to buy Sunnyside School, working on engineering a pipeline connection to Morro Bay for bringing in state water and seeking funding for construction ,working with the County on a possible desalination project that could in the future deliver potable seawater over the same pipeline; Working to the Los Osos Basin Management Committee on the thorny issues of growth and seawater intrusion and continuing construction of groundwater wells, the only water source for the town for now; Then there is negotiations with CalFire to secure a new contract for fire service for the community. Busy shoes indeed.
