Los Osos [San Luis Obispo County] may be in line for an $8 million federal grant to connect the community to the State Water Project that runs to Morro Bay. The water would provide a supplemental source to the town of 14,000, which is now 100% dependent on groundwater wells for drinking water. The money would come from the annual Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) funding through the Army Corp of Engineers, which passed both houses of Congress this summer and is expected to be signed into law, according to a representative from Congressman Salud Carbajal’s office. That House version of the bill includes an earmark for Los Osos Community Services District to receive $8 million to pay the cost of laying a 2.5-mile, 12-inch pipeline to connect to the State Water Project that brings Northern California reservoir water to the Central Coast.
