SLO County town pledges water hookups for 13 new developments after decades-long ban
The tiny San Luis Obispo County town of San Simeon is slowly prying the door open to welcome new development after a 36-year moratorium. During a special meeting held Thursday evening, the San Simeon Community Services District’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to issue intent-to-serve letters to those still on the coastal community’s water connection waitlist. The waitlist has 13 developments still vying for a hookup to the town’s sewer system so they can build motels, retail spaces or residences in the town near the entrance to Hearst Castle.
