Unlimited water from ‘emergency’ facility is biggest threat facing Cambria

The biggest con job in the history of Cambria is the selling of a water treatment facility to a town of stable population with a history of adequate groundwater resources.

The CASGEM Interactive Map designates the groundwater elevation risk in Cambria as “very low risk,” Consequently, in the worst drought in California history, Cambrians conserved 43 percent of their groundwater resources and provided adequate water to residents and businesses, without any contribution from the highly expensive and unneeded “emergency” water treatment facility.

Supply and demand dictates the definition of a “water shortage,” and Cambria’s stable population means that the supply will meet the demands, given the proven history of smart conservation. Water has been the stranglehold on unrestricted and irresponsible growth in Cambria and now the town council wants to provide unlimited water, so the restrictions on growth and development can disappear in favor of the money machine.

What is ironic in this sad episode of fearmongering about water, is that the new water facility is actually the biggest threat to the future of Cambria, since it will allow the virtual destruction of the town’s unique flavor of small, quiet and natural.
