San Simeon CSD dissolution and water/sewer future
Summary
The tiny San Simeon district is dissolving and its 60-year-old water and sewer systems need tens of millions in repairs — up to roughly $55 million total. The county is stepping in to lead planning for who runs these services, leaning hard on state and federal money rather than the general fund.
