Environmental Working Group

PREAMBLE

 

As members of the Los Osos community, we recognize the need to address the pollution of our aquifer and the Morro Bay Estuary, and are committed to building a wastewater treatment project that supports that end.

We are working on behalf of our entire community in the development of a Pro/ Con analysis of various project alternatives, which will be based on clear, objective and accurate information.

We encourage community input and participation. We will share that input with the County team and incorporate it in our efforts.
