Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District

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.

 Local Hazard Mitigation Public Workshop Invitation

In order to continue to provide quality, affordable, and reliable water, the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District (District) is preparing a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan will identify the natural hazards impacting the District and its customers and assess the vulnerability of its critical infrastructure and facilities. Based on the assessment, the District will develop a set of actions and seek grant funds to reduce risk and future damages.

The District is requesting your input on the Plan! We are holding a virtual public workshop to present the key findings of the risk assessment and request your input on how we can best invest in disaster preparedness and risk reduction.

Invitación al Taller Público de Mitigación de Peligros Locales

Para continuar brindando agua de calidad, confiable y precios accesible, el Distrito de Servicios Comunitarios de Pajaro/Sunny Mesa (Distrito) está preparando un Plan Local de Mitigación de Riesgos. Este Plan identificará los peligros naturales que afectan al Distrito y sus clientes y evaluará la vulnerabilidad de su infraestructura e instalaciones críticas. Con base en esta evaluación, el Distrito desarrollará un conjunto de acciones y buscará fondos de subvención para reducir el riesgo y los daños futuros.

¡El Distrito está solicitando su opinión sobre el Plan! Estamos realizando un taller público virtual para presentar los hallazgos clave de la evaluación de riesgos y solicitar su opinión sobre cómo podemos invertir mejor en la preparación para desastres y la reducción de riesgos.
