💧Thank you to the 25 community members who joined us for the first Water Supply Study forum on May 13!

The conversation was lively and informative. Questions focused on technical aspects of Grover Beach's water supply, Lopez Lake and future development were answered by the team.

Our next water supply workshop is right around the corner on June 16! This session will shift focus to the path forward: exploring alternatives to address our long-term water supply needs and examining the costs associated with each option, including desalination, recycled water, conservation measures and more.

📅 Tuesday, June 16
⏰ 6-7:30 p.m.
📍 Ramona Garden Park Center (993 Ramona Ave.)

We hope to see you there! For more information, or to watch the recording of the first forum, visit: groverbeach.org/764/Water-Supply-Study
