Implementing the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to redress the unregulated, over drafting of our source water basin, while meeting the increasing demand for water is my priority. As the Groundwater Sustainability Agency, MCWD holds responsibility and accountability to manage and use groundwater without causing undesirable results, including significant and unreasonable depletion of supply, unreasonable seawater intrusion, or degradation of water quality. In coordination, both MCWD Groundwater Sustainability Plan and the Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan identify potential projects which may be accomplished alone or in coordination, but as yet none are prioritized, and none are funded.
Implementing the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)
“Defining the path to protect the aquifer, while continuously providing reasonably priced water service is imperative.”
