Summary

Local resident Alan Moss told the Midcoast Community Council he has received no response from Montero Water & Sanitary District or its attorney about a newsletter statement that mains on San Lucas Avenue were abandoned; he asked the council for help locating where effluent now goes and whether residents were effectively disconnected from maintenance.

Alan Moss, a Seal Cove resident, used the public-comment period to ask the council for help after he said the Montero Water & Sanitary District has not replied to two letters and a lawyers letter about sewer and water mains in his neighborhood. Moss told the council the district's April 2025 newsletter stated the mains west of Del Mar Avenue were abandoned, and he said he and four other houses remain connected and have received no explanation where their effluent is being routed.

"They won't tell me why they won't answer me. Nothing. Total silence," Moss said. He asked the council to assist residents in getting information from the district on maintenance responsibility and where sewage currently goes. The chair acknowledged the request and staff offered to follow up with county contacts to help locate answers and elevate the complaint to the district.
