 DO NOT DRINK YOUR WATER

Failure to follow this advisory could result in illness.
 

Due to the flooding in the Sunny Mesa Water System Well, the drinking water supplied by Sunny Mesa Water System (Sunny Mesa WS) is possibly contaminated. The State Water Resources Control Board, Monterey County, and Pajaro/Sunny Mesa CSD are advising residents of Sunny Mesa Water System to NOT USE THE TAP WATER FOR DRINKING AND COOKING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. 

What should I do?

  • DO NOT DRINK YOUR TAP WATER---USE ONLY BOTTLED WATER.  Bottled water should be used for all drinking (including baby formula and juice), brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice and food preparation until further notice
  • DO NOT TRY AND TREAT THE WATER YOURSELF.  Boiling, freezing, filtering, adding chlorine or other disinfectants, or letting water stand will not make the water safe.

On March 12, 2023, we informed you of unsafe water. Since then, we have flushed the well and collected multiple samples. Also, we have collected samples from the distribution system, as results become available, they will be posted on our website: pajarosunnymesa.com under the Water Quality tab. We expect to have all results by April 10, 2023, and will provide an update of the water quality.

The Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District (PSMCSD) water system was formed and has been in operation since 1986.  The District was created by the Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) with the consolidation of Pajaro Community Services District, the Sunny Mesa Water District, and Monterey County Service Area No. 73.  The District is a public agency governed by a five (5) member Board of Directors that serves without compensation.

The District provides potable water services, fire flows, parks, and streetlight services to thousands of residents of North Monterey County.  The District provides these sevices from the Pajaro River in the north, to Moss Landing in the west, to the Highway 101 corridor in the south. Part of PSMCSD's senior groundwater rights were granted by the U.S. District Court in San Jose, CA.  It is the only public agency which provides public potable water services in the Pajaro, Elkhorn, and Prunedale areas.

The PSMCSD water systems are regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board and Monterey County Environmental Health Department.
