Recycled sewage coming to town. Fist the golf course and cemetery, then the showers in the hotels.
In November, the state water board approved $2.3 million in Proposition 13 grant funding and $5.4 million in low-interest loan financing for the project designed to provide up to 125 acre-feet of irrigation supply per year to the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links, El Carmelo Cemetery and Crespi Pond restrooms. There’s one condition however, that the “saved” potable water must be used to offset California American Water deliveries from the Carmel River until the board agrees to allow its use elsewhere. Some, like resident Luke Coletti, had previously expressed concerns about the city’s plans for the “saved” water.
