Wastewater and Water Systems Climate Adaptation Plan

This plan will evaluate vulnerabilities of the City’s wastewater and water infrastructure from sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, and rising groundwater levels. It will identify alternatives for relocating, flood-proofing, and/or hardening of major sewer mains and water lines currently located under the beach and in the sea level rise area. The plan will primarily focus on impacts in the next 30 years in detail but will also consider mid- and long-term options and thresholds for action for El Estero Water Resource Center and other portions of the wastewater and water systems. A draft report is projected to be released for public review in early 2025.
