Soquel Creek Water District 06/16/2026

The Soquel Creek Water District Board of Directors held a meeting on June 16, 2026, focusing extensively on water resource management, groundwater sustainability, and related regulatory compliance. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on funding opportunities through the State Water Resources Control Board for a 1,2,3-TCP treatment project and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the Pure Water SoCal recycled water project, which is critical for groundwater recharge and seawater intrusion prevention. The board reviewed detailed hydrological reports and modeling studies presented by consultants from Montgomery and Associates, highlighting progress toward sustainability goals and the need for continued monitoring and adaptive management. The board also discussed the annual water supply and demand assessment and considered rescinding the existing Stage Three water shortage declaration due to improved groundwater conditions and recharge efforts, with a motion to rescind the resolution passed unanimously. The meeting included discussions on budget allocations for water conservation programs funded through penalty fees and the potential for future water sales to neighboring districts. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the board emphasized ongoing evaluation of projects and funding mechanisms to support infrastructure and treatment initiatives.
