OWN VOICE. ~ InPerspective by Gregg Dieguez —
“You win or lose in the Jungle, everyone loses in Court.” And that’s where we are with the Half Moon Bay (HMB, aka “the City”) lawsuit against its partners in the Sewer Authority Midcoastside (SAM). In court. Of course Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) and Granada Community Services District (GCSD) had to contest the lawsuit to protect their ratepayers. And now, everyone’s trying to rush to judgment because: a) they believe they’re right, and it’s obvious (isn’t it?), and b) we’ve already spent a million dollars on this unfounded HMB lawsuit, and that will go WAY up with an expensive trial, so let’s save time and money and pick a winner.

VIDEO. From the Coastside County Water District (CCWD) meeting Tuesday, October, 12th, 2021 at 7:00pm by Zoom. Cathleen Brennan from Water Resources presents.
California asked residential Californians to reduce consumption by 15% voluntarily in July, 2021.
SFPUC (San Francisco Public Utilities Commission) intends to declare an Emergency Water Supply Emergency on November 7th, 2021. IF SFPUC declares water supply emergency CCWD’s water allotment will be curtailed to 0.92 million gallons per day. Currently, we are averaging 1.8 million gallons per day. Because we have had no rain, local water sources are dry. So, now 100% of our water is coming from the SFPUC and the Hetch Hetchy resevoir.

This bill would require, except as provided, certain premoistened nonwoven disposable wipes manufactured on or after July 1, 2022, to be labeled clearly and conspicuously with the phrase “Do Not Flush” and a related symbol, as specified.

PRESS RELEASE. You may have noticed pavement markings on a few roads in Pacifica similar to the photo shown above with a bicyclist painted on the street, with the word “BLVD.”
These markings are to indicate designated bicycle boulevard roads within the City.
In February of 2020, the City of Pacifica adopted a new bicycle and pedestrian master plan that delineates the approved bicycle network on City roads.
Bicycle boulevards are generally on residential roads that are connecter routes throughout Pacifica, but do not have the width required for full bicycle lanes.

Growing Stages is thrilled to present SEASCAPE, a play by Edward Albee. October 16 and 17 around 3pm along the dunes of Mirada Surf Beach located at, Mirada Rd & Magellan Ave, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019.
Directing Ranger (Tanika Baptiste): On a deserted stretch of beach, a middle-aged couple was relaxing after a picnic lunch and conversing idly about home, family, and their life together. She (Allison Berke) was sketching; he (Maurice Ngakane) was napping. Then, suddenly, they were approached by two sea creatures (John Szabo & Lauren Brazell) from the depths of the ocean, with whom they engaged in a fascinating dialogue with. The emotional and intellectual reverberations of this bizarre conversation still lingers in their hearts and the minds long after the days events.
