Pacific Grove passes ordinance not allowing new water hookups
In less than a month, a new Pacific Grove ordinance will prohibit any new water hookups despite having been granted earlier water entitlements by the state. The ordinance is set to take effect in mid-September. In 2017 Pacific Grove’s Local Water Project came online. It processes wastewater to irrigate the Pacific Grove Golf Links and the El Carmelo Cemetery. In November 2015 the state water board approved $2.3 million in grant funding and $5.4 million in low-interest loan financing for the project.
