THE SOQUEL CREEK WATER DISTRICT’S “PURE WATER SOQUEL” PROJECT GOT THE GREEN LIGHT FROM THE SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL. THE AGREEMENT ALLOWS THE WATER DISTRICT TO PROVIDE TREATED WATER FROM THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. MEANWHILE… A NEW TREATMENT FACILITY WILL BE BUILT IN LIVE OAK ON SOQUEL AND CHANTICLEER AVENUES
THE COUNCIL ALSO VOTED TO CREATE AN ELEVEN MEMBER “COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON HOMELESSNESS.” ON TUESDAY, THE COUNCIL ALLOWED FOR THE COMMITTEE TO EXPAND ITS BOARD AND INCLUDE TWO MEMBERS FROM THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY. THIS MOVE COMES AS THE CITY STRUGGLES TO FIND SHELTERS FOR THE EVER GROWING HOMELESS POPULATION.
