City of Grover Beach Staff Report
The City Council reviewed a draft Long-Term Water Supply Study. The report evaluates the reliability of the City's current water supply portfolio, which consists of Lopez Reservoir and groundwater from the Santa Maria River Valley Groundwater Basin. Key discussion topics included assessing current water supply vulnerabilities, projecting 30-year water demand based on planned growth, and evaluating various supplemental water supply alternatives such as regional water purchase, purchase of State Water Project contracts, and recycled water. The Council was requested to receive the draft report and provide input to staff for the final version.
