Ding! Ding! Ding! Wake Up Call For Santa Margaritaville!
Put down that drink and click over to Ron Crawford's blog at www.sewerwatch.blogspot.com. With the County BOS due to discuss the new RWQCB Stealth Onsite Update on Tuesday, Ron's in hog heaven. He just posted one entry in what will, I suspect, be an ongoing Saga entitled, "Santa Maria, If All Goes Well, in "Three to Six Months" You Will be Los Osos. " Ah, Los Ososology, redux, and Ron right there in the middle of it. The Los Osos 45 will soon have company. LOTS of company. Bwa-hahahahahah.

2% EPA Benchmark Affordability Reached7
The benchmark cost according to the EPA should not exceed 4% of yearly income of a family for both water and sewer cost. For sewer cost alone the amount would be 2%. The income of 33% of the families at Baywood Elementary earn below $28,000 per year with many being one income single parents like myself. $28,000 X 2% X 1/12 = $46.00/ MO. Or $138.00 per quarterly pumping compared to $800.00 for the tank pumping requirement. This would approximate the pumping cost of 100 gallons. Standard portable toilets cost approx $60.00 to service. Hence source separation would meet the low income community needs were Septic pumping does not.
