Document Description
On August 19, 2024, the landowner submitted a petition to LAFCO proposing annexation of APN 091-063-039 into NCSD to obtain water service, as the existing on-site groundwater well on the property has failed and left the property dependent on trucked water for the past two years. Although NCSD provides multiple services, only water and existing solid waste collection would apply to this annexation, as wastewater infrastructure is not available at this location. Because the property lies within NCSD’s Sphere of Influence and the Santa Maria Valley Groundwater Adjudication requires new urban uses in this area to be served by the local public water supplier, annexation is the only feasible option. NCSD is the nearest and only public provider capable of serving the site, and the boundary change represents a logical extension of existing service areas. The District has adequate water supply capacity, and owner-funded system extensions will deliver service without cost to NCSD or impacts to current customers.
